--AZ Alkmaar win Dutch championship 2008-09--

AZ Alkmaar have won the 2008-09 Dutch Championship as their only remaining rivals, Ajax, crashed to a 6-2 defeat at previous champions PSV Eindhoven.

Ajax needed a win to postpone AZ’s championship party but Marco van Basten’s men never stood a chance in Eindhoven. Edison Mendez, Ibrahim Affelay and Nordin Amrabat gave the hosts a very comfortable lead in the first half, and Luis Suarez’ goal for 3-1 just before the break could not threaten PSV’s advantage.

In the second half, PSV continued their full domination with goals from Jason Culina and Balazs Dzsudzsak. Miralem Sulejmani made it 5-2 on 76 minutes. PSV had the final say though as substitute Otman Bakkal netted for 6-2 in added time.
