Ajax failed to win the Dutch Cup final on Sunday evening. The Amsterdam-based team lost after a series of penalties. Brian Brobbey, Jurriën Timber and Edson Álvarez failed to hit the net.
Ajax had a disappointing evening in De Kuip on Sunday. John Heitinga’s team took the lead after a goal from Steven Bergwijn but saw PSV equalize in the second half. The team from Eindhoven won the Dutch Cup final after a series of penalties.
Davy Klaassen wants to use next Sunday's cup fixture to put last Sunday's 3-0 defeat against PSV well and truly behind him. Last year's needless defeat at the hands of the Eindhoven team should also be consigned to history, believes the midfielder. "A year without winning the league is bad, but a year without winning anything is even worse."
He became a crowd favourite within one season: Tijjani Babangida. The swinging winger from Nigeria was part of the successful Ajax that won the Eredivisie in 1998 and won the Dutch Cup against PSV 5-0. "They were good, but we were even better."
