Ajax on the gums to the next round after ‘ugly’ victory: ‘Mamma Mia, what a warriors!’

On character, a miraculous Amsterdam escape was established against Union Sint-Gillis in the interim of the Europa League (1-2). “There was no lack of passion and fighting spirit,” said goalkeeper Remko Pasveer. Trainer Francesco Farioli was also short of superlatives.
