Como, which finished tenth in the Serie A last season, took the lead in the 26th minute. Lucas Rosa made a foul on former AZ player Jayden Addai in the sixteen-meter area, after which Nico Paz used the penalty: 1-0. Shortly before, midfielder Kian Fitz-Jim had dropped out with an injury.

Shortly after the break, Martin Baturina doubled the lead for Como by passing goalkeeper Remko Pasveer in the far corner. The 3-0 fell in the 64th minute, again out of a penalty kick. Nick Verschuren made a violation. Anastasios Douvikas, former FC Utrecht player, did not fail from eleven meters.

Jorrel Hato was not in the selection of Ajax. The defender hopes to make the switch to Chelsea in the short term.

Ajax won four exhibition matches, from Hibernian (6-3), Paok (2-1), KV Mechelen (3-2) and Celtic (5-1). The meeting with Aarhus ended undecided (1-1).
