PSV regained top position in the Eredivisie after a decisive 5-2 victory over Cambuur Leeuwarden, while Feyenoord suffered a setback with a 4-2 loss against Heerenveen. PSV scored quickly with a header by Sven Mijnans, added another goal after 15 minutes, and completed a hat-trick with a free-kick in the 80th minute, despite Cambuur's late efforts.

Feyenoord's coach, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, praised his team's mental strength but acknowledged their defensive frailties. AZ fought back from 3-1 down to beat Groningen 4-3, securing their first win in five matches.
The match saw Mexx Meerdink score a hotly contested penalty in the final moments. Ajax salvaged a 2-2 draw against Twente with a late penalty from Wout Weghorst after an own goal by Dies Janse. Fortuna Sittard and Telstar also ended without a winner, with both teams sharing a 2-2 draw. ADO earned a crucial 3-1 win against Sparta, moving closer to 16th place, while struggling Willem II took their third point of the season against PEC Zwolle.
