Twente win Dutch championship

(GSM) FC Twente have won their first ever Dutch championship. At NAC, a 0-2 win was more than enough to keep second-placed Ajax at bay.

Steve McClaren s side began the match with a one-point advantage over Ajax, meaning that they would not have to depend on results in other matches if they won their own.

Twente dominated from the start at Breda s Rat Verlegh stadium, even more when NAC had Csaba Feher sent off with a red card after just 21 minutes.

Two minutes later, Costa Rican forward Bryan Ruiz put Twente in the lead after poor defense from Snoyl.

NAC pushed forward a little more after half time but failed to create any major chances. Instead, Miroslav Stoch doubled Twente s lead in the 73rd minute as his effort from the left of the penalty area sailed in at the second post.

For Ajax, a 1-4 win at NEC was of little influence, apart from having their already impressive goal record improved a bit more.

AZ Alkmaar drew 1-1 with third-placed PSV, which cost them their fourth place and a direct Europa League spot as Feyenoord defeated Heerenveen 5-2 to surpass the 2009 champions.
