Brian Brobbey immediately asserted himself on his return to Ajax with two goals and received an 8 for his performance in Utrecht, where Ajax won 0-3. Vitesse attacker Loïs Openda, who decided the match against Feyenoord on Saturday evening, also got that figure for his performance in the Kuip. Ajax defenders Jurriën Timber and Lisandro Martínez were also important for Ajax in the victory in Utrecht and received a 7.5.
It wasn’t exactly the goalkeepers’ weekend. For example, Justin Bijlow (Feyenoord), Xavier Mous (Heerenveen) and Tim Coremans (Sparta) made a mistake. They got a 4, while Go Ahead keeper Warner Hahn also didn’t look good and got a 4.5. The lowest figure of the weekend, however, was for Derrick Köhn of the moribund Willem II, who last won a game in September. The 22-year-old left back from Hamburg received a 3 for his performance against PEC Zwolle
