Ajax wins 2-0 against FC Groningen under dismal circumstances. Mika Godts and Aaron Bouwman helped their team to fifth place in the Eredivisie.

For the Amsterdam team it was the first victory since October 26. Then they won 3-2 when they visited FC Twente.

The match was stopped on Sunday with five minutes and ten seconds on the stadium clock and the score at 0-0 because fans of the home team continued to set off large amounts of fireworks. They commemorated a deceased supporter.

Ajax avoided a negative club record with the victory. The record champion of the Netherlands has never lost five times in a row since the introduction of professional football in 1954.
