The Amsterdammers defeated http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258 Rotterdam.
Ajax Amsterdam head coach, Frank de Boer, has insisted that his side is within touching distace of the Eredivisie title. The Amsterdam giants claimed an impressive 2-0 win over FC Groningen at Amsterdam Arena on Sunday, April 22, to maintain their six-point
lead over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar and Feyenoord Rotterdam, who are level on 61 points.
With only nine points left to play for before the ongoing 2011/12 season comes to an end, the Amsterdammers are sitting comfortably at the summit of the table with 67 points from 31 matches.
De Joden boss has insisted that his side has one hand on the Eredivisie title.
“We have one hand on the title. The important thing now is to put the other hand on it as well. We are not completely there yet, but things are looking good for us. We are almost there”, De Boer was quoted as saying to the media.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 player went on to express his delight with the 2-0 win over Pride of the North at home though he admitted that it was not an easy task to bag all three points against a defensive minded side.
“It was not an easy game against such a defensive team, but the important thing is that we won. We dominated the full 90 minutes and I've seen some good things”, De Boer concluded.
Despite dominating proceedings at home throughout the 90 minutes, Ajax failed to convert many of their goalscoring opportunities. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Derk-Boerrigter-c10972 broke the deadlock in the added time of the opening half.
After the half-time break, the Amsterdammers continued to assert their authority, but they failed to put the match to bed until the 80th minute when Kolbeinn Sigthorsson found the bottom left corner of the net to seal a 2-0 win.
Ajax will battle against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 Enschede in their upcoming Eredivisie encounter at De Grolsch Veste on Sunday April 29.
