Live: Ajax – FC Utrecht 0-0
A long shot from Steven Berghuis forces goalkeeper Vasilios Barkas to make a save. The Greek still has quite some difficulty turning the ball.
Aaron Bouwman can also score moments later. The central defender’s goal is simply turned by Barkas.
Steven Berghuis blasts a free kick from a great distance narrowly wide of Utrecht’s goal. The first danger of the Ajax players.
FC Utrecht immediately gets two big chances against Ajax. Initially, Siebe Horemans’ header is cleared off the line by Jorthy Mokio. Moments later, Mike van der Hoorn heads just wide of the goal.
Will Ajax reach the Conference League? We started in Volendam.
Ajax’s season has not been successful, even if it reaches European football. General director Menno Geelen thinks so. “Regardless of the outcome of this match, it’s a shit season, sorry for my language,” he said on ESPN.
“Everyone at Ajax has that feeling, especially the fans. They have supported us tremendously throughout the season, including in Europe and in away games. They were also fantastic on Thursday.”
