0-2 GOAL by Chuba Akpom!
And that’s two! Akpom is allowed to finish into an empty goal, after Godts reaches the back line and puts it back perfectly. The fate of Volendam now seems sealed.
56′
Godts tries it himself once and shoots wide. Ajax has completely regained control of the match.
53′
Taylor again! A quick combination by Ajax ends up in front of Taylor’s right. With a volley he shoots a meter over.
50′
Another threat in front of Rulli. Ajax cannot get the ball away and Twigt is able to shoot on goal. To the luck of the Amsterdam team, the midfielder shoots into an Ajax body.
47′
On the pole! Johnson comes face to face with Rulli and has a nice lob. Transfixed, Rulli watches the ball bounce back into his hands from the inside of the post.

Second half kicked off

Ten times before this season, Ajax had a minimum lead of one goal at halftime in the Premier League. This has ultimately resulted in a victory five times so far: W5-G4-V1.
45’+5′
End of first half
Peace! Since Taylor’s goal, Ajax has slowed down a bit. Since then, Volendam has barely been able to make a fist and needs a brilliant plan to turn this around.
36′
Suddenly Volendam again! Booth crosses Semedo, who heads towards the short corner at the first post. Rulli sees the ball go just wide.
25′
0-1 GOAL by Kenneth Taylor!
It had been in the air for a while! Taylor has plenty of space on the edge of the penalty area and shoots the ball precisely into the intersection on a pass from Rensch.
25′
Ajax is increasing the pace and Brobbey is being found more and more often. However, the striker aimed twice at goalkeeper Backhaus.
19′
Once again Henderson finds the free-standing Akpom in the penalty area. The striker takes one shot, but misses the target completely.
13′
Henderson curls the ball into the penalty area and finds Akpom, who then heads onto the roof of the goal.
