Ajax had an easy time with Bronby with first half goals from Snoeijs and van Koppen. Lots of young players new in the team and they pressed with fury all over the pitch denying Bronby almost all attack possibilities. New GK Liefting made one good save but otherwise was not bothered. Compared to the dismal results of the men's team in the past several years, they are fun to watch!
I see Ajax got a few older players signed during this window, some much needed experience. League path Group 4 Sporting 5 Seasters 0 League path Group 1 Ajax 2 Brondby 0 League path Group 2 Hammarby 4 Apolonia 0 Champions path Group 7 Gintra 1 Hearts 2
