After a decent first fifteen minutes, Ajax conceded a goal scored by Henk Veerman. Ajax then struggled to create any chances for the remainder of the first half. Kenneth Taylor almost scored the equaliser, but his goal was ruled offside.
Ajax started the second half looking for more chances. A corner taken by Wout Weghorst was converted to a goal by Ko Itakura, who scored his first goal for Ajax. The remainder of the match wasn't fruitful for Ajax. The Ajacieden did not get past a 1-1 draw.
Ajax now have 8 points after three matches. Next week, the players will go on international duty and leave for their national teams. Ajax will face PEC Zwolle at home in the Johan Cruijff ArenA on Saturday, September 13, at 16:30.
