The Amsterdammers started the game brightly and had the first opportunity to break the deadlock in the fourth minute. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Siem-de-Jong-c33482 just outside the box, but the Dutch ace’s effort was comfortably saved by the ADO goalkeeper, Gino

In the 25th minute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vurnon-Anita-c36486, and the referee did not hesitate in showing the 32-year-old a straight red card.
With a man down, the home side were left to face the disaster against De Joden. However, they surprisingly created their first real goalscoring opportunity only for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lex-Immers-c22181 to shoot over the crossbar.

It took them only three minutes after the break to take the lead. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Theo-Janssen-c34871 set up Jody Lukoki on the right, and the forward made no mistake in firing his effort into the back of the net.
Moments later, Ismail Aissati’s effort crashed against the outside of the post, as the home side continued to live dangerously.
Jan Vertonghen doubled his side’s advantage just a minute after the hour-mark. The Belgian stopper played a neat one-two with Aissaiti before curling in a brilliant shot into the bottom right corner of the net.

However, they never really threatened the visiting side’s defence. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tjaronn-Chery-c35168 had a good opportunity to score a goal, but his effort was denied by the Amsterdammers goalkeeper,
