First months of the Eredivisie
Still euphoric from the match against Panathinaikos, Ajax is already running into a sensitive tap in the Eredivisie in round of two. Visiting NAC Breda is lost 2-1. The PhD student makes the winning goal in injury time.
Ajax, however, knows how to recover from the defeat and what follows is an impressive series of 16 matches unbeaten. In this series of matches, Ajax beats Jagiellonia Białystok and participation in the group stage of the Europa League is the first goal achieved.
The unexpected 0-2 win in the Rotterdam Kuip on Feyenoord also makes the hearts of the Ajax players beat faster. Four days later, Amsterdam is in turmoil, because the still undefeated PSV comes to visit. The reigning national champion has won its first ten games of the season, but Ajax is too powerful by Eindhoven. Thanks to the winning goal of Mika Godts, it will be 3-2 for Ajax.
After eleven round of play, Ajax is thus on five points from leader PSV. However, the Francesco Farioli team still has a game to catch up.
