Dutch champions PSV claimed their 24th league win of the season with a 2-0 victory away at Sparta Rotterdam (a mid-table Eredivisie club based in the port city), courtesy of goals from Ricardo Pepi and Ismael Saibari, lifting them to 74 points from 30 games. Meanwhile, Ajax dispatched Heracles Almelo comfortably in Saturday's late kickoff, keeping pressure on the clubs chasing European places. The results further cement PSV's dominance in the Netherlands' top flight, where they secured a 27th national title earlier this week.
