Ajax, despite excellent Ihattaren, falls hard against Paderborn

Paderborn, which plays at the second level in Germany, started the game strongly. Within two minutes Ajax already had to face a disadvantage after Raphael Obermair managed to pass goalkeeper Jay Gorter. However, the team of trainer Alfred Schreuder did not have to look at a backlog for long. In the fourth minute Ihattaren was the end station after a nice combination with Naci Ünüvar.

Ihattaren was the star of the first half on the side of the team from Amsterdam. The 20-year-old attacking midfielder gave Ajax the lead halfway through the first half. This time Ihattaren shot a beautiful free kick from twenty meters and thus ensured the 2-1 halftime score.

Within a few minutes it was 2-4 by goals from Kelvin Ofori and Dannis Srbeny. After this blow, Ajax could no longer make a fist in the final phase and even ran into a fifth goal.
