After http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Mancini’s men.
On match-day three of UEFA Champions League group stages, Ajax Amsterdam cruised to a convincing 3-1 victory over Manchester City at Amsterdam Arena on Wednesday, October 24.
The Eredivisie champions started the game brightly, and enjoyed majority of ball possession. Christian Eriksen had the first opportunity of the game within 10 minutes of action, but the Danish sensation fired wide of the target.
In spite of remaining the better side on the pitch, the Amsterdammers conceded a goal against the run of play in the 22nd minute. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/James-Milner-c17706, who raced towards the penalty area before passing it on to Samir
Nasri, and the Frenchman made no mistake in firing home.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-c33030 Aguero had a couple of decent opportunities to double his side’s advantage, but last ditch tackles on both occasions restricted the Argentinean ace from hitting the target.
After couple of tense moments, De Joden went on to dominate proceedings yet again, and managed to level the score-line moments before the half-time break. A http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ricardo-c30950 van Rhijn low pass from the right flank found Siem de Jong at the edge of the box, and the
23-year-old smashed a brilliant first-time strike that found the bottom right corner of the net, leaving the Citizens goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joe-Hart-c18699, unmoved between the sticks.
The four-time European champions resumed proceedings in the second-half brightly, and enjoyed lion’s share of ball possession. However, they failed to create any goalscoring opportunity of note in the opening 12 minutes of second-half action.
In the 57th minute, Niklas Moisander’s strike gave his side a deserving lead. Eriksen sent in a corner from the right-hand side for the Finnish defender, who made no mistake in heading the ball into the back of the net.
Eleven minutes later, the Amsterdammers netted their third goal of the evening to double its advantage. Eriksen made a dazzling run towards the box, before unleashing a powerful left-footed shot that clipped Gael Clichy on its way before finding the back
of the net.
Tobias Sana had a golden opportunity to extend his side’s lead further, but Hart made a tremendous save to deny the talented winger from adding his name to the score-sheet.
