Ajax won convincingly in Volendam. Without particularly spectacular play, John van ’t Schip's team won with a wide margin in North Holland. After a score of 0-1 at half-time, the Amsterdammers ran away with it in the second half for a 1-4 victory.
Ajax had a straightforward afternoon in Volendam on Sunday. Even so, manager John van 't Schip was critical after the match. "I think everything could have been better, of course. We need to stay realistic. But it's a good, important win in the battle for fifth place," said the head trainer.
Ajax had a fairly straightforward win in Volendam. After a 0-1 lead at the half, the Amsterdammers really pulled away from the number seventeen team in the Eredivisie. After ninety minutes, the score was 1-4. Kenneth Taylor (2), Chuba Akpom and Brian Brobbey scored the goals.
Jordan Henderson has made his return to the pitch. The midfielder played his last match for Ajax in March, before sustaining an injury. The Brit looks forward to the last matches of the competition. "We have to give it our all for those last three matches and then we'll see where we're at on May 19."
