Young Ajax lost to Almere City tonight at their own De Toekomst: 0-2. Mika Gots picked up a red card soon after the break. After a goal from Ro-Zangelo Daal, Jasper Dahlhaus equalized against Young AZ. It became 1-1.
In the first part of the game there were few chances on De Toekomst. Sontje Hansen became two dangerous before Jeredy Hilterman made the opening goal. He shot from outside the box behind Tom de Graaff: 0-1. Shortly after the break, Almere City doubled their lead. After a foul by Mika Godts, the visitors were awarded a penalty. Lance Duijvestijn unwrapped the present: 0-2.
Godts then received a red card and that marked the beginning of the end. The Belgian played the ball too far ahead of him and took the opponent with him in his sliding. Young Ajax could no longer make it difficult for Almere City, so the score remained unchanged. After the international break, the young promises will play against FC Dordrecht.
Young Ajax: DeGraff; Aertssen, Vos (Delgado/46), Warmerdam, Hato (Jermoumi/46); Fitz-Jim (Muzambo/63), Godts, Martha; Hlynsson, Banel (Brandes/80), Hansen (Van Axel Dongen/63)
