Round 26 of the Eredivisie is over. Feyenoord can no longer miss the title after the first victory in eighteen years in the Johan Cruijff ArenA (2-3) and the loss of points by both AZ and PSV. The team from Rotterdam supply two players to VZ’s Team of the Week, but Ajax also had an excellent player in its ranks. These are this week’s highlights!
The folk festival in Rotterdam, which started on Sunday at 4.30 pm, will continue for a while. In any case, the guest of honor at the party is Lutsharel Geertruida, who made the winning in the Johan Cruijff ArenA and thus scored his eleventh goal in the Eredivisie. Since he scored for the first time two seasons ago, there has been no other defender who has scored as often as Geertruida. Someone who would have liked to see it differently is Steven Berghuis. The Apeldoorner was by far the best man on Ajax’s side and was very important for his team with an assist, a front assist and the necessary creative ideas. It was not good enough for a result.

The match between RKC Waalwijk and NEC (1-3) became Oussama Tannane’s match. The NEC playmaker scored twice from outside the penalty area, making him the first NEC player in more than eleven years to do so, but also missed his first penalty kick in the Eredivisie. However, his stats are still impressive. Tannane has nine assists, four of which went to Nany Dimata. In the Mandemakers Stadium, however, it was turned around once, as Dimata prepared a goal from Tannane for the first time. Only Dusan Tadic and Davy Klaassen also managed to assist each other five times this season.
Sydney van Hooijdonk is not a man of assists, but of goals. The sc Heerenveen striker made two more in the Derby of the North against FC Groningen (2-0) and was therefore accurate for the third league match in a row. Van Hooijdonk had never done that before in the Eredivisie, but it was also not surprising that he succeeded against Groningen. The northerners are the favorite opponent of the former NAC Breda striker. However, the award for effectiveness goes to Oskar Buur. The defender of Volendam shot for the first time on behalf of Fortuna Sittard during the match against Fortuna Sittard The Other the Dutch and that promptly resulted in his first goal for the club.
