The fight for rating spots continues to rage in the Dutch championship despite the fact that AZ has clinched the title with still 4 games to go. Longtime leader in the rating Swiss international Blaise N’kufo (146.45 points) could well lose his top spot before the end of the season, as his position, once seemingly unassailable, no longer looks so secure.

Uruguay international Luis Suarez is closing in with 144.48 points, and both players appear to have equal chances in the remaining 4 games of the season.

Despite Ajax’s crushing defeat at the hands of PSV Eindhoven 2:6, Suarez managed to score a goal. The defeat was all the most unpredictable since Ajax had demolished Willem-2 (7:0) in the previous game. Suarez then had a hat-trick.
