Go Ahead Eagles scored a late winner in extra time to beat FC Utrecht 2-1 in the playoff final for a UEFA Conference League spot. Joris Kramer scored in the dying minutes of extra time in a match marred by crowd trouble. It is just the third time in the club's history that they qualified for European football. They defeated NEC in the semi-finals to reach this stage. Utrecht beat Sparta Rotterdam in the semi-finals.
PSV continued their dominance in the Eredivisie this season by beating Sparta Rotterdam 0-4 away on Sunday. Peter Bosz's side still has a 100% record after eight matches. The Eindhovenaren thought they had taken the lead through Luuk de Jong after 40 minutes, but the goal was disallowed after a foul by Malik Tillman in the build-up. Tillman made up for his error in the 51st minute by giving PSV the lead. De Jong turned provider on this occasion, playing the US international in, who smashed his shot into the bottom corner.
FC Utrecht are yet to pick up a single point this season in the Eredivisie after four games played. It is the first time in the club’s history this has happened. Feyenoord were the latest side to beat the Utrechters as they won 1-5 in de Galgenwaard. It was a successful day for Arne Slot’s side, with Calvin Stengs, Ayase Ueda, and Yankubah Minteh getting their first goals for the club. Santiago Gimenez got the other goals for Feyenoord, with Ryan Flamingo scoring Utrecht’s solitary goal.
