It was the livetopic for the under-19 match of Ajax and Benfica. As part of the Youth League, both youth teams clashed at De Toekomst. Under the direction of John Heitinga, the Amsterdamers took the win over the Portuguese, who secured the leading position at the expense of visitors. By the goals of Ryan Gravenberch, Victor Jensen and Nicolas Kühn, he became 3-0.
In the first half, he had some ups and downs at De Toekomst. The Portuguese came out of the starting blocks a little stronger and founded the first danger. Especially with fast counters, the Ajax defense has been tested several times. Fortunately, the guardian Issam El Maach was often well prepared or the completion of Benfica was not pure enough. Navajo Bakboord and Mitchel Bakker both tightened the emergency brake, which gave a yellow impression to both.
Ajax himself was dangerous in classic situations, in which central defender Sven Botman was close to goal. At the end of the first half, the Heitinga team had more control over the game and began to become more menacing. Brian Brobbey, who was played by Gravenberch, had the greatest chance, but hit the bar. A minute before the break, he was happily still touched. Gravenberch raised the ball in a corner for the feet, did not think for a moment and pulled the ball hard against the ropes.
After the break, Ajax started stronger. Including the substitutes, Quiten Timber and Brobbey were close to doubling the score, but each time, the attempt was not enough. However, the Amsterdamers did not take long to applaud. Little Jensen scored after an hour with a good head on the floor. The blow was hard for Benfica. Only João Filipe, among the visitors, managed to make an impression, but Ajax remained in the class.
In the final phase, the 2-1 came closer. Nevertheless, the 3-0 fell into the counterattack. After a constructive foul of the Portuguese, Ajax sprinted towards the goal and Kühn was at the end of the attack. The Benfica goalkeeper was beaten with a low and hard ball in the small corner. After the 85th minute, Ajax then played quietly, without running too much risk. Final score: 3 to 0.
