On the other hand, the ball is now in the net. Souffian El Karaoni’s corner is headed into the goal by Matisse Didden. It’s 1-0 and not 0-1.

A cross from Kenneth Taylor ends up at Wout Weghorst. He pushes the defender and then lays back on Oscar Gloukh. The Israeli’s shot goes wide, but the referee blows the whistle.
So far Ajax is waiting in the match and trying to strike at the right moments. FC Utrecht dictates the game and has been dangerous on a number of occasions.
Mika Godts gets a ball perfectly into the course of Kenneth Taylor. The attacker misses the goal face to face with Vasilios Barkas. Fortunately for Godts it is offside.
