Ajax’s title hopes took a hit after a shocking 3-0 home loss to NEC Nijmegen. Francesco Farioli’s team is now winless in three games, with PSV just a point behind with two rounds left.
The match against NEC Nijmegen was a disaster from the start of the second half. Hansen opened the scoring in the 59th minute, and the Johan Cruyff Arena fell silent.
