Goal line technology 1, PEC 0. Great strike by Dolberg.
Appie Nouri will forever be remembered for his grace and humanity on and off the pitch!

Who would've thought? Ziyech creates chances if you put him in the middle of the pitch!

Been eating and watching these last 20 mins ,lovely goal by Dolberg we should have scored more goals
Re: 24 SEP 2016 Ajax - PEC Zwolle Match Day 7
An easy win after letting in a goal on 4 mins. 3 quality goals with Traore's the best. Ziyech set up 3 goals and looked like the Ziyech of Twente. 2nd half we played some good football and that is more like it
Re: 24 SEP 2016 Ajax - PEC Zwolle Match Day 7
After a mediocre first half, Ajax came out determined to play in the second and were rewarded with three very nice goals. Dolberg had two wonderful individual moments and goal line technology worked on the second one. For me Ziyech was MOTM, popping up everywhere in midfield and delivering great balls whether on free kicks or during the run of play. Defense is still dicey on set pieces but Sanchez is looking to be the best defender that we have had since the Vertonghen and Alderwiereld days.
Player Ratings:
Onana (7.5) - some very good saves when the defense was faulty and his distribution was quick and sure
Sinkgraven (6) - struggled on defense which is to be expected but still very good on the ball
Viergever (6.5) - solid game all around
Sanchez (7.5) - two solid headers for goals and great defending; I counted only one poor pass from him
Veltman (6) - no major errors but still not a RB
Schöne (6) - not quite as effective as in the Cup match and out of position on the PEC goal though it was Klaassen's man that was free
el Capitan (5.5) - lost is man on the goal and is still a liability in a quick passing game but had a nice header down to Sanchez on the first goal
Ziyech (8) - all over the field and shows why he is the best AM since Eriksen left the club
Younes (6) - less selfish as he realizes he has someone in the midfield that can make things happen
Dolberg (8) - have to give him full points for the work on the two goals though he did have some rough patches in the first half with is ball control
Traore (7.5) - solid match on the wing and was a danger all match long
Riedewald (6) - solid coming on for Schöne
Cassiera (5.5) - had a couple of balls in the box but not able to do much
van de Beek (5) - on late for Klaassen
Another midweek match with the first home EL tie with Standard Liege. Ziyech is suspended for this one because of the foolish Yellow cards in Greece. Will the team find creativity without him? I'm skeptical.
