Ajax Amsterdam does not seem to have any remedy this season and, but this time they drew ‘in extremis’ against Bodo/Glimt, in the first leg of the Conference League play-off with Johan Cruyff (2-2). ).
It was noted in the preview that it was almost impossible for the Dutch team not to concede (they have not kept a clean sheet since November 25) and it did not take them long to surrender to a great finish from Gronbaek after a perfectly executed counter attack by the Norwegian team ( 16′).
Things then went wrong for Ajax, as Bodo/Glimt gathered a lot of people inside, leaving Van’t Schip’s team to strike on the outside and that summed up the one I wanted and the one I couldn’t. More than that, and despite Sosa coming on to improve the wing play, Gronbaek scored again to double the lead after a childish mistake by Gooijer lost the ball to the side (63′).
It wasn’t until almost the end that Ajax found themselves with options. Brobbey, who had missed a point-blank header minutes earlier, was given a light penalty for a tackle on Bjortuft, who after a VAR review saw a red card. Van del Boomen scored (91′) and the Dutch team came out on top. Taking advantage of the superiority, he stepped into the area with more danger than in all the previous minutes and, almost at the last minute, Haug made a mistake for a hanging ball and left the ball at the feet of Berghuis, who overcame it with a good Vaseline to save a tie leaving them options.
