AMSTERDAM, Dec. 10 -- Ajax handed Dutch league leaders PSV their second defeat of the season, beating their title rivals 3-0 in Amsterdam on Sunday.
With the closed roof in the Amsterdam Arena, heavy snowfall in the Netherlands was not an issue on the pitch, but fans suffered from delays in public transport, speed limitations and several accidents on the roads. To give fans the opportunity to reach the stadium on time, the match started 15 minutes later than scheduled, at 5 p.m. local time.
Ten points behind on the table, Ajax had to win against PSV, and the home-team dominated the match from the start. This left PSV, who lost striker Jurgen Locadia through injury after ten minutes, on the defensive. Still, the dominance led to only one clear chance by Kasper Dolberg, but the Danish striker's attempt went over the crossbar.
In the second half, PSV began with more attempts on the opposite half, but it was Ajax that opened the scoring. David Neres hit home a deflected corner from outside the penalty box in the 61st minute. Three minutes later, Lasse Schone produced a second goal, also from outside the penalty area, and in the 73rd minute Donny van de Beek decided the match with a left-footed shot from close range.
PSV came close to a consolation goal, but Luuk de Jong headed into the hands of Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana and Marco van Ginkel hit the crossbar with a free-kick. After the match, the fans who didn't live close to Amsterdam awaited the difficult task to get home, because during the match more snow had fallen, causing rail traffic to suffer from major delays.
