After the victory in De Klassieker against Feyenoord last Wednesday, Ajax also won the top match against PSV, which until now had cruised flawlessly through the Eredivisie. The team from Amsterdam fell behind twice, but Mika Godts had the last word with the decisive 3-2. Our young compatriot came in very active and made many PSV defenders tremble.
PSV captain Luuk De Jong seemed to put PSV on its way to victory after 18 minutes of football with a striking header on a corner from Noa Lang. However, Davy Klaassen (43.) tied the score again just before half time. After the break, PSV took the lead again through old warrior Ivan Perisic (54.), but Ajax again pulled alongside through Fitz-Jim (66.).
Godts makes the ArenA explode
It was an extremely attractive spectacle in the Johan Cruijff ArenA. PSV took the lead twice, but it was Ajax that would come out on top. Due to fumbling at the back of the Eindhoven team. Midfielder Tillman just played the ball close to his own sixteen-meter area into the feet of Mika Godts, who had just come on, who gratefully opened the present. PSV then pushed for the equalizer, but this did not produce any great chances, while Kenneth Taylor still hit the post for Ajax.

When he came on as a substitute, Godts was constantly involved in almost all of his team’s attacks and impressed with some clever dribbles. At PSV, Matteo Dams was replaced at half time. Johan Bakayoko came on again 20 minutes before the end but could not prevent the defeat.
Ajax is now within five points of leader PSV, and also has a catch-up game to play.
