Last-day drama for Dutch soccer league with PSV Eindhoven somehow ahead of Ajax

EINDHOVEN, Netherlands (AP) — How exactly PSV Eindhoven leads the Eredivisie ahead of the last round on Sunday has left players and fans in disbelief.

Wild celebrations in PSV’s stadium followed a 4-1 win over Heracles, helped by two first-half goals from United States midfielder Malik Tillman. All PSV supporters who stayed in their seats late Wednesday watched their cellphones for updates on fast-faltering leader Ajax’s game at Groningen.

Then it came. Ajax gave up a goal in the ninth minute of stoppage time to draw 2-2 and extend its winless streak to four games that erased a nine-point lead in the Dutch standings.
