  "account": "PSV Eindhoven reclaimed the top spot in the Eredivisie after AZ Alkmaar failed to score in their first match of the season. The decisive match took place at the Philips Stadion, where PSV's Matej Kovár's error allowed Milan Zonneveld to score for Sparta. Sven Mijnans scored a hat-trick for PSV in the second half, earning the team four goals. Feyenoord bounced back from their midweek 5-1 loss to Barcelona by scoring seven goals at PEC Zwolle. Their coach praised their performance as \"maybe the best half of football I have ever seen from a team I coach\" as Nacho Ferri scored a hat-trick and Anis Hadj Moussa added two goals. AZ Alkmaar dropped points for the first time this season, falling to Willem II 1-0. Ajax's new German signings, Julian Brandt and Thilo Kehrer, played crucial roles in their 5-1 win against Fortuna Sittard. Wout Weghorst scored his first goal since joining Twente in a 2-0 victory over ADO Den Haag, who currently lead the table with one point. Cambuur Leeuwarden secured their first win of the season with a 3-0 victory over NEC, thanks to a double from Ilyes Hamache. Go Ahead Eagles and Groningen are currently in the top half of the table after playing to a draw in Deventer. Utrecht won their first match under Anthony Correia by scoring a stoppage-time goal against Excelsior.",
