The players of Alfred Schreuder they enjoyed a extensive ball control which grew by the minute, completely established in the rival field and strangled a guards that he barely managed to shy away from trying a few exits in the counterattack, but with very little success in the pass.

The first goal of the match came from a corner kick, kicked by Steven Berghuiswhich sent the ball straight to the penalty spot, where it appeared Edson Alvarez no brand to put it under the eyes.

What happened up until that moment would be just the beginning of what Rangers would suffer for the remaining 28 minutes. Dusan Tadic Y Berghuis they did the right wing hell for the Scottish club, which saw both players create most of the dangerous plays with no one to stop them.

The second target came after the recovery of Mohamed Kuduswho snatched a fumble from a Scottish defense – again very weak – to hand it over Berghuisthat ended the goal with the fate of the Rangers defender, of sanddeflected the ball to the left of mclaughlincatches the goalkeeper off guard and is completely beaten to his right, where the ball actually goes after the shot.

The second half was calmer than the first, although Ajax continued to outplay their rivals and took advantage of their dominance in keep the ball and sleep the game in the rival place. In this way there are several attempts to complete the victory in the fourth goal, with a Bergwijn very pressing to face the purpose of McLaughlin.

Rangers took advantage of Ajax slow down to breathe and get out of your place a little. In this way, in the long passage they reached the goal of Pasveer and score the goal of honor in the 71st minute. That’s a goal cancelled later at the request of VAR, which indicated offside with the departure of John Lundstram a Ryan Kent, hence the great purpose for the crowd Borna Barisic didn’t get on the scoreboard.

At the last minute, the insistence of Bergwijn he finally had his prize transforming the fourth goal, after again pressing a very hesitant Scottish defense and managing to pick up a loose ball which he eventually sent into the back of the net with a coolness worthy of a high level player. Even the Dutch striker missed to celebrate the target because he had to leave the playing field with a clear damage.
