Ajax hit five for second match in a row to rise to fourth

Ajax secured their fourth consecutive victory in the Eredivisie by defeating Willem II 5-1, pushing them up to the fourth position in the league standings. Oskar Gloukh and German veteran Julian Brandt were instrumental in the match, combining effectively to create problems for Willem II's defense on the left side. Kasper Dolberg sealed the win with the fifth goal of the match, following a strong performance throughout the game.

The match saw Ajax hold out until the 41st minute before Davy Klaassen scored for Willem II, but Ajax managed to maintain their lead. After the break, Gloukh took control, setting up Viktor Tsyhankov for the third goal, and then scored his own goal with a low shot beneath the goalkeeper. Willem II managed to pull one back through Alessandro Ciranni, but Dolberg managed to score a rebound goal from a cross.

Coach Michel Sanchez praised the understanding between Gloukh and Brandt, stating that this relationship is helping to improve Gloukh's game. Ajax's international player Yves Bissouma is reportedly close to signing with the club after being released by Tottenham Hotspur. Meanwhile, Utrecht has banned 18 supporters following a match against Go Ahead Eagles on September 5, which was abandoned due to fireworks and plastic cups being thrown from the stands.
