AMSTERDAM (AP) Ajax has won its 33rd Dutch league title - and its fourth straight championship - after drawing at Heracles Almelo 1-1 Sunday.

Lasse Schone put Ajax ahead with a free kick after 13 minutes. Almelo's Simon Cziommer equalized 10 minutes later, also through a free kick, and an out-of-form Ajax went for the draw.

Last week Ajax lost the Dutch Cup final with a humiliating 5-1 defeat against PEC Zwolle.

Other Dutch teams have won four straight championships - PSV Eindhoven has done it twice - but the 43-year-old Frank de Boer becomes the first coach to win four in a row.
