Derk Boerrigter scored twice
in the first half to help Ajax Amsterdam to a 3-1 home win over
Graafschap Doetinchem and stretch their lead in the Dutch
League on Sunday.
Ajax, top with 64 points and four matches remaining, are
closing in on the title, six ahead of AZ Alkmaar and Feyenoord.
Alkmaar were sunk by a late goal in a 3-2 loss against PSV
Eindhoven on Saturday while Feyenoord beat neighbours Excelsior
Rotterdam 3-0.
Boerrigter, back after a long spell of injury woes, opened
the Ajax scoring after three minutes and effectively settled the
match on the stroke of halftime finishing an excellent move from
Jan Vertonghen.
Frank Demouge struck twice for Utrecht who came back from
two goals behind to beat VVV Venlo 4-2.
