http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Derk-Boerrigter-c10972’s brace and Christian Eriksen’s strike helped Frank de Boer’s side bag all three points against Richard Roelofsen’s men and strengthened their position at the summit of the table.
On Sunday, April 15, Ajax Amsterdam secured a convincing 3-1 win over the relegation threatened De Graafschap at Amsterdam Arena in round-30 of the Dutch top tier.
The reigning Eredivisie champions commenced proceedings brightly at home and managed to break the deadlock in the third minute. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Siem-de-Jong-c33482 set up Derk Boerrigter inside the penalty area, who powered his shot into the right corner of the net.
A packed Amsterdam Arena expected to witness a goal-galore after the home side took the lead within three minutes of play. Despite controlling the game afterwards and keeping the lion’s share of ball possession, the Amsterdam giants failed to create any
further openings until the 26th minute.
De Jong found some space to try his luck from range, but his powerful low shot went inches wide of the left post, much to the dismay of the Amsterdammers head coach, Frank de Boer.
The visitors then spurned couple of good goalscoring opportunities with Soufian El Hassnaoui having the better of them, but he fired over the crossbar from the edge of the penalty area.
In the 37th minute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ismail-Aissati-c17108 teed up the Danish ace at the edge of the box, who unleashed a thunderous low shot into the bottom left corner of the
net.
Seven minutes later, Boerrigter scored his second of the evening to make the score-line 3-0. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jan-Vertonghen-c17814 made a brilliant run at the right before sending a low pass across the face of the goal for the 25-year-old, whose left-footed shot found the bottom
right corner of the net.
The visitors somehow managed to pull one back with seconds remaining before the end of the opening half. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kenneth-Vermeer-c20618, helpless between
the sticks.
After the break, the defending Dutch champions continued to assert their authority and dominated proceedings at home. However, they failed to create any goalscoring opportunity of note and the match ended in a comfortable 3-1 win.
Ajax cemented their position at the summit of the table, as all three points move them six points clear of the second placed, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 Eindhoven on Saturday.
