A resilient Ajax claimed a 2–3 victory away to FC Twente. After trailing 1–0 at half-time, John Heitinga’s side completely turned the game around in just seven minutes. Between the 49th and 56th minute, Ajax scored three times. Although FC Twente pulled one back from the penalty spot to make it 2–3, the win was no longer in danger in Enschede.
Ajax have won the away match against FC Twente on Sunday afternoon. The match at the Grolsch Veste ended 2-3, with goals for the Amsterdam-based team scored by Wout Weghorst, Oscar Gloukh and Mika Godts.
Ajax coach John Heitinga saw a completely different team emerge after the break in Enschede. He also gave credit to the home side. “In the first half FC Twente were much better. We didn’t manage to put them under the pressure we wanted. In the second half, we managed to turn the game around. Even after FC Twente made it 2–3, I saw a team that kept working hard. The second half was good, the first half was poor.”
