DBasia.news – Ajax grew stronger at the top of the standings after defeating Emmen 5-0 in the continued Dutch League match at the De Oude Meerdijk Stadium.
This victory has made Erik Ten Hag’s team collect 27 points or five points ahead of Vitesse in second place who just played a day ago.
Meanwhile for Emmen this defeat clearly made them slump further to the bottom of the standings because they had only obtained three points from three draws and seven defeats.
Ajax, who in the midweek match successfully defeated Midtjylland 3-1 in the Champions League, came with high confidence to FC Emmen’s headquarters.
In the first half, Daley Blind and his colleagues were already ahead 3-0. Davy Klaanssen opened Ajax’s lead in the 20th minute. Receiving feedback from Lassina Traore, he immediately fired a shot that the goalkeeper could not save.
Nine minutes later, Ajax successfully doubled the lead. This time, Davy Klaanssen acted as a feeder for Zakaria Labyad to complete a similar process.
Ajax young player, Lassina Traore, did not want to miss out on listing his name on the scoreboard. He managed to change the direction of the ball from Anthony’s cross. The first half ended in 3-0.
The second half, Ajax immediately made changes to save energy in the Champions League. Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, who had just entered, immediately took part in the goal party against Emmen. Maximizing the heat in front of the goal, he grabbed the ball to vibrate the net.
Quincy Promes closed Ajax’s goal party in the 82nd minute. Receiving David Neres’ low cross, Quincy immediately cheats the ball. The 5-0 score closed the match.
In the following week, Ajax will host FC Twente at the Johan Cruijff Arena, while Emmen will travel to Rotterdam against Sparta.
