A goal from Steven Berghuis was enough to put the club in the driver’s seat ahead of the trip to Amsterdam.

The win means Ajax have finally kept a clean sheet in a European away game for the first time since 18 March, 2021.

They previously went 16 consecutive games without one on the road, their longest in club history.
