It remained 3-0 for Ajax at home against Almere City. Wout Weghorst, Kenneth Taylor and Kian Fitz-Jim help the Amsterdam team reach the bottom line. Ajax reduced the gap to leader PSV, which lost 1-0 at SC Heerenveen on Saturday, to six points. Coach Francesco Farioli’s team has the same number of points as FC Utrecht, but a better goal difference. Feyenoord follows within a point of Ajax and Utrecht.
After Thursday’s cup match against Telstar, Ajax will close the first half of the season in the Eredivisie on Sunday with an away match against Sparta Rotterdam, of former Ajax coach Maurice Steijn.
