Benefiting from the setbacks of Ajax and PSV Eindhoven, who did not go beyond the draw in their respective commitments on the sixteenth day of the Eredivisie League, Feyenoord achieved a victory at the Euroborg stadium against Groningen (0-3) and increased his leading edge.
Arne Slot’s team now has a four point advantage over AZ Alkmaa, who became the main chasers after beating Heerenveen (0-2) on Saturday. Cinco eliminated Ajax, who were unable to overcome the 0-0 at home against Twente yesterday, and PSV, who today saw how victory eluded them so much in their visit to Fortuna Sittard (2-2).
Feyenoord followed their departure from Groningen and after half an hour they had already secured their eleventh win on the track with goals from Brazilian Igor Paixao, after receiving the ball from Mats Wieffer, and from Turkey Orkun Kokcu. In added time, Mexican Santiago Giménez beat Michael Verrips for the third time after a pass from Quilindschy Hartman to wrap up a comfortable away win.
A penalty in the 99′ disappointed PSV
A penalty converted by veteran striker Burak Yilmaz in the 99th minute gave Fortuna Sittard an equaliser, Salamanca’s Julio Velázquez leading the way and shocking PSV, with victory in hand and leaving two key points that stopped their pursuit of Feyenoord.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s PSV, Sevilla’s rivals in the Europa League playoffs, did not take advantage of the superiority they found from the 56th minute when Fortuna Sittard was left in the ten due to the sending off of Turkish Dogan Erdogan.
At that time, Velázquez’s team was leading the scoreboard because in extra time in the first half, Íñigo Córdoba from Bilbao put the locals ahead.

PSV rectified the clash after playing time. Xavi Simons equalized in the 65th minute, his ninth Eredivisie goal, from Jordan Teze’s pass and took the lead to eleven at the end thanks to Ivory Coast’s Ibrahim Sangare.
But a foul inside Guus Til’s area was indicated as a penalty. It was executed by Burak Yilmaz, who gave Sittard the tie and left PSV without two golden points.
