- 15' AFC Ajax are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.

- 30' What a moment for Brian Brobbey! That strike on 30 puts his side firmly in control.
- 35' AFC Ajax is showing some good football. However, AFC Ajax are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
