Alfred Schreuder made a few changes as veteran Davy Klaassen came into the side in midfield, and young Mexican fullback Jorge Sanchez made his first start in Europe for the reigning Eredivisie champions.

Ajax conceded a second after 16 minutes breaking another unwanted record in the process. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia broke away down the left before passing the ball to Giacomo Raspadori on the edge of the area, who took one touch before rifling the ball home past the hapless Pasveer.
