After impressive victories over Sporting CP (1-5) and SC Cambuur (9-0) Ajax managed to also beat Fortuna Sittard smoothly. The Ajax players triumphed in Limburg with a 0-5 score.
Ajax scores strongly in the first weeks of the Premier Division. Visiting Fortuna Sittard, the team from Amsterdam won 0-5. After six matches, Erik ten Hag's team has a goal difference of +26; that is an all time record in the Premier Division.
Remko Pasveer looks back on Ajax's successful week with mixed feelings. Against Sporting CP he made a mistake that results in the goal to make it 1-2, but he also did well in the build up to Antony's assist for Haller. Addtionally, he talks about the role of a keeper during a massive victory like that of last Saturday against SC Cambuur.
