Eredivisie 1987/88
This season sees FC Den Bosch beating both Ajax and Feyenoord.
Feyenoord in Rotterdam, in the last league match, suffers a
1-4 humiliation, after having lost the first match in Den Bosch
already by 3-1. Ajax is eliminated from the Dutch Cup by
FC Den Bosch, in the 1/16 finals. FC Den Bosch bows out to
eventual winners PSV in the next round, 0-1 after extra time,
while Ajax simply continues in the Cup by fielding their first
team players for the reserve side, Ajax 2, who managed to
qualify for the 1/4 finals. Then, Ajax are eliminated again
by a Brabant side: neighbours RKC of Waalwijk dump them out
of the competition before they also fall to the unstoppable
PSV side of 1987/88. In addition to winning all competitions
entered, PSV sets a new goal difference record (+89) for the
eredivisie. It was since bettered by Ajax, but PSV's record
of 17 consecutive wins from the start of the season still stands.
