Ajax had an early scare in the opening stages. Junior Kadile appeared to have opened the scoring but was flagged for a foul on Devyne Rensch. After that, Ajax took control of the game.

Weghorst quickly put Ajax ahead 1-0 after Davy Klaassen neatly set him up with a chest pass. Taylor doubled the lead in the first half with a delightful lob.
