sport">Because of the win, the team of trainer Erik ten Hag is at least third in the group with Atalanta and Liverpool, so that Ajax will at least play in the Europa League after the winter.
sport">In the first fifteen minutes there were two big chances to note. At first there was a great chance for Ajax striker Lassina Traoré, who got the ball in front of his feet via an opponent, but then shot high over.
Acrobatic
sport">Moments later – after a cross by David Neres – the detached Zakaria Labyad was able to lash out, but goalkeeper Hans made an acrobatic way to save. Ajax pressed and pressed and Traoré found the top of the bar in the 28th minute. A minute later another mega chance for Traoré after a nice pass from Labyad. But the Burkinese shot wild and high over.
sport">Defender Perr Schuurs was also close to 1-0, after a volley from a corner. But his bet ended on the wrong side of the post. Miraculously, it stayed 0-0 at the tea break.
Muscle Injury Blind?
sport">So after the break it was waiting for a goal and it came very quickly. Ryan Gravenberch curled the ball beautifully at the bottom of the bar: 1-0. Two minutes later it was ‘Noussa’ Mazraoui who made the 2-0. Tadic’s pass was tailor-made, as was the completion of the Moroccan international.

sport">In the 66th minute things got worse for the Danes. Neres lashed out from the edge of sixteen after preparatory work by Traoré, who used his body well: 3-0 and Ajax on roses. It is a pity for Ten Hag: Daley Blind had to be replaced with an apparently muscle injury.
Supreme
sport">In the 79th minute, Midtjylland was actually allowed to do something back, when Mazraoui committed a (light) foul within the box: penalty kick. André Onana was close, but Awer Mabil shot in the great opportunity: 3-1.
sport">That was by no means enough to threaten the supreme Ajax for a moment this Wednesday evening. In fact, at the start of injury time, Erik Sviatchenko ran into a red card when he put the broken Neres against the grass.
