The match in Prague started with chances for both Ajax and the team from Prague. Both teams saw their biggest chances stopped by the goalkeepers. In the 18th minute, Ajax were awarded a penalty after a foul on Christian Rasmussen. Van den Boomen calmly converted the penalty from the spot, giving Ajax the lead. Multiple chances happened after that, but no further goals were scored in the first half.
With ten players
After the break, Slavia Prague equalised with a goal from Tomas Chory. Ajax had to play with ten players after Youri Baas received his second yellow card, which led to a red card in the 75th minute. Both teams failed to score in the final phase of the match.
