Ajax has also won its third exhibition game in preparation for the new season. Coach Erik ten Hag’s team won 2-0 in Austria against Wolfsberger AC by goals from Quincy Promes and Ryan Gravenberch.
Ajax has already booked goal-rich victories over RKC Waalwijk (6-1) and FC Utrecht (5-1) and quickly picked up the thread again on Tuesday. Quincy Promes got the ball from Donny van de Beek and hit the ball after two minutes: 1-0. The team from Amsterdam happily combined and got more good chances via Van de Beek and again Promes, who played in the point of the attack, while Tadic operated from the left. Labyad was on the right this time.

After a good start, the tempo at Ajax dropped a lot, so that the first half provided little entertainment. Coach Erik ten Hag made a cheerful change in half time: ten new field players made their appearance, including acquisition Mohammed Kudus. The Ghanaian, who made a good impression, formed a midfield with Kenneth Taylor and Gravenberch, who took the 2-0 after 53 minutes after a nice combination with Lassina Traoré.
Ajax controlled and had little to fear from Wolfsberger, but really big chances were not forthcoming. The team from Amsterdam will play their next exhibition game on Saturday, then Red Bull Salzburg will be the opponent.
