The Italian striker Lorenzo Lucca has played an important part in the victory of Young Ajax over Heracles Almelo with two goals. It was no less than 4-0 at De Toekomst, the youth complex of Ajax, and the first two goals were in the name of Lucca.
Just before half time, the Italian opened the score and after an hour he made it 2-0. Donny Warmerdam took the 3-0 in the 73rd minute and determined the final score not much later.
The 21-year-old Lucca, who was replaced by trainer John Heitinga after an hour, is rented from Pisa by the team from Amsterdam. He has only played once for the first team so far. In the home game against FC Groningen (6-1) the striker came in halfway through the second half.
For Heracles it was only the first loss of the season in the Kitchen Champion Division. Young Ajax booked the second victory of the season and is now tenth.
Jong AZ was 3-1 too strong for FC Dordrecht, while Jong PSV had no chance against TOP Oss on their own Herdgang with 3-0.
