PSV Eindhoven and Ajax
5 September 2026
PSV Eindhoven beat Ajax 3-1 in Amsterdam to move to the top of the Eredivisie and hand Ajax their first defeat of the season. Ricardo Pepi, Lutsharel Geertruida and Esmir Bajraktarevic scored for the visitors.
The match was overshadowed by Ruben van Bommel’s heavy challenge on Aaron Bouwman, who could not continue. Van Bommel received only a yellow card, but the supplied report says Dutch refereeing chief Raymond van Meenen viewed the decision as wrong.
