PSV Eindhoven theoretically secured the country's 25th league title after beating Sparta Rotterdam 4:2 at home today in a spectacular match of the 32nd round of the Dutch Eredivisie. With two rounds to go in the championship, PSV put an end to the trophy challenge with 12 points ahead of second-placed Feyenoord, who welcome Filip Krastev's Zvole later this evening.
At the "Philips" stadium, the hosts found themselves in the role of catching up in the result as early as the 8th minute after Metinho's goal. However, Said Bakari scored an own goal soon after and Johan Bakayoko completed the turnaround. However, Sparta restored the status quo after an own goal by Olivier Boscagli. However, he got his revenge after the break when he found the right goal, and then Jordan Teze scored for the final 4:2.
Thus, PSV rejoiced with the country's 25th title in its history, but remain far from the eternal rival Ajax, who has 36 trophies in the showcase. The team from Eindhoven last became champions in the 2017/18 season. Now the team has done it in impressive and undisputed fashion, with only one defeat so far in 32 matches (28 wins) and have scored a whopping 107 goals, conceding just 19. Sparta is in ninth position with 43 points, keeping chances for next year's European club tournaments - eighth-placed Go Ahead Eagles have the same points.
In the next round, the team from Rotterdam visits Utrecht, while PSV will play Fortuna Sittard away. /BGNES
