PSV six points clear after NEC shock Feyenoord in late comeback
Match overview
PSV Eindhoven strengthened their position at the top of the Eredivisie table, moving six points clear after Feyenoord dropped points in a surprising 2–2 draw against NEC Nijmegen.
The Rotterdam side led 2–1 late into the match but failed to hold on as NEC fought back in the closing minutes. Bryan Linssen opened the scoring for NEC against the run of play, punishing Feyenoord’s defensive lapse. The home team rallied to take the lead, but their advantage slipped when NEC equalized near the end.
Standings and form
This draw proved costly for Feyenoord, allowing PSV to widen their margin at the summit following their own solid performance earlier in the weekend. PSV’s consistent form contrasts sharply with Feyenoord’s recent inconsistency, making the title race increasingly one-sided as the season progresses.
Key players and reactions
Bryan Linssen’s early strike set the tone for an unexpectedly tense affair. Despite Feyenoord’s dominance in possession, NEC’s resilience earned them a deserved point. Post-match reactions reflected frustration in the Feyenoord camp, with manager Arne Slot admitting his side “lost focus at the decisive moment.”
“We created enough chances to win, but small mistakes cost us again,” said Slot after the match.
Implications for the title race
With this result, PSV’s unbeaten run continues, and the pressure now builds on Feyenoord to close the gap before winter break fixtures tighten. NEC, meanwhile, climbed up the mid-table zone, adding momentum to their season with this statement performance.
