Ajax Amsterdam thrashed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Miralem-Sulejmani-c25985
and Gregory van der Wiel added their names to the score-sheet in the second period.
The reigning Eredivisie champions showed their grip on the match from the very beginning. The home side could have taken the lead in the sixth minute, but the visitors’ goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brian-Vandenbussche-c8073 kept out Theo Janssen’s effort from a free-kick.
The Amsterdam giants failed to create any serious chances in the next 30 minutes, but they broke the deadlock in the 37th minute following a defensive error that was capitalised upon by Sigthorsson. The Icelandic International latched onto a Boerrigter’s
cross in the box and made no mistake in scoring his maiden goal for the Amsterdammers from close range.
However, the home side’s excitement was short lived. Heerenveen levelled the score-line with six minutes to go before half-time. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bas-Dost-c7339, who tapped in from six yards
to make it 1-1.
Ajax, however, regained their one-goal lead three minutes later when Alderweireld’s long range effort found the back of the net, leaving Vandenbussche with no chance whatsoever. At the half-time break, the hosts were leading the score-line 2-1.
Following the interval, the defending champions dominated proceedings and constantly pressed the visitors’ back-line in front of their home crowd. The aggression paid off just six minutes after the break as they doubled their lead through Boerrigter, whose
low shot from nine yards settled into the back of the net.
Shortly afterwards, the Amsterdammers went close to scoring their fourth of the evening, when Van der Wiel headed a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christian-Eriksen-c9074 cross only to see the ball hitting the crossbar, a sigh of relief for the outfit from Friesland.
In the 75th minute, Sulejmani made it 4-1 following a neat finish to an impressive move. Van der Wiel scored Ajax’s fifth of the evening in the injury time to seal the game 5-1 following good build-up play from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thulani-Serero-c35022.
Following the comprehensive loss, Heerenveen have dropped to 15th place in the league table. The outfit from Friesland will take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 Enschede in their third encounter of the 2011/12 campaign at Abe Lenstra Stadion on Saturday, August
