Ajax finished the Klassieker on Sunday afternoon with a loss. The match ended 2-3. In the Johan Cruyff ArenA, Ajax got behind early on. John Heitinga’s team managed to turn the match around in the second half but conceded two goals in the second part.
John Heitinga described the loss against Feyenoord (2-3) as ‘incredibly painful’. He thought Ajax was too sloppy on the ball during the home match against the Rotterdam-based team. He also considered the two conceded goals in the second half to be a bummer. “You have to win those one on one duels. We have to do better.”
In an amazing ambiance where an Ajax loss seemed unimaginable, it still happened. In the final phase of the match, Ajax conceded the 3rd goal after a corner. This means the difference between Ajax and Feyenoord has grown to six points, with eight matches to go.
