JAKARTA - PSV Eindhoven won the Dutch Cup after beating Ajax Amsterdam 2-1 in the final which took place on Sunday 17 April. This is PSV's first success in winning the Dutch Cup in 10 years.
In addition, this victory also ended the hegemony of Ajax Amsterdam. PSV managed to thwart Ajax's third successive win in the Dutch Cup final under coach Erik ten Hag.
"I am very proud to be the head coach of this team. What I saw today was incredible," said PSV coach Roger Schmidt on the club's official website.
"The team played really well after a difficult game against Leicester City. To come back in this way is phenomenal," he continued.
Ajax actually took the lead in the 23rd minute when Ryan Gravenberch scored. He curled a shot beyond PSV goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo.
Mexico's Erick Gutierrez equalized with a header in the 48th minute. He got the ball unguarded by the Ajax players in a free-kick situation.
Two minutes later Cody Gakpo claimed the winner. By sprinting through the opposition defence, he ended the action with a powerful strike that was unstoppable by veteran Ajax goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.
In this match, there were three goals which were eventually voided. One from PSV and two from Ajax Amsterdam, as reported by Antara from Reuters.
