Christian Eriksen and Lasse Schone netted a goal each late in the second-half to secure all three points for De Joden after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Guus-Hupperts-c15453’ strike gave the hosts an early lead in the game.
In the 14th round of the Dutch top flight football, Ajax Amsterdam recorded a hard fought 1-2 victory over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roda-JC-c40375 Kerkrade at Parkstad Limburg Stadion on Sunday, November 25.
The Amsterdammers dominated proceedings right from the first whistle, and could have taken the lead within five minutes of action.
However, Viktor Fischer failed to beat De Koempels goalkeeper, Mateusz Prus, with his headed effort after Derk Boerrigter’s pinpoint cross from the right flank found him inside the box.
De Joden appeared to be in complete control of the game in the opening phase of the game, but a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daley-Blind-c9747 blunder changed the course of the match.
The young left-back gave the ball away to Krisztian Nemeth inside his own half, and the Roda No.9 raced towards the penalty area before setting up Guus Hupperts at the edge of the box. The 20-year-old attacker drilled the ball past the diving Amsterdammers
goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kenneth-Vermeer-c20618, to gift his side a lead in the 14th minute against the run of play.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Siem-de-Jong-c33482 had couple of decent opportunities to restore parity moments later, but he first failed to beat the home side’s goalkeeper before firing his effort well over the crossbar.
In the 20th minute, Nemeth could have doubled his side’s advantage, but the Hungarian ace aimed wide of the right post. At the other end, De Jong had another opportunity to bring both team back on level terms, but he failed to hit the target yet
again.
After the half-time break, the Amsterdam giants continued to dominate proceedings in Limburg, and created plenty of goalscoring opportunities. However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-Hoesen-c10208, Fischer and De Jong all failed to beat Prus, who stood tall under the crossbar.
Hoesen had the best opportunity to restore parity in the 62nd minute, when a long ball found him unmarked at the far post. However, Prus yet again made a terrific save to deny the former Fulham attacker’s powered effort from hitting the back of
the net.
After putting consistent pressure on the Roda JC back-line, the Amsterdammers eventually managed to net the equaliser in the 82nd minute through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christian-Eriksen-c9074. The Danish sensation played a neat one-two with Fischer, before hitting the bottom
right corner of the net with a brilliant low strike.
Six minutes later, the defending Dutch champions were celebrating their second goal of the evening. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ricardo-c30950 van Rhijn headed the ball towards Lasse Schone, who
made no mistake in firing home from close range.
When the referee blew the final whistle, the score-line read 1-2 in favour of Ajax.
It was another dominant display from the Amsterdammers, as they enjoyed 72 percent of ball possession throughout the 90 minutes. In addition, they tested the home side goalkeeper on 14 occasions, while fired wide of the target on six occasions. All in all,
De Joden deserved to bag all three points.
