Without the same expressiveness in the result, but with a similar domain.
Ajax returned to class in the Champions League, after thrashing Sporting in Alvalade, in the first round of the group stage of the Champions League.
The Dutch team did what Besiktas wanted, despite having scored ‘only’ two goals.
Once again scoring early, although not in the first minute, Ajax controlled the entire match and sent the opponent chasing the carousel that is this team with the ball.
Berghuis opened the scoring at 17m and Saatçi, at 43m, scored an own goal, under much pressure from Haller, a name that left Sporting with bad memories.
Despite total dominance in the second half, Ajax failed to score again, with a series of unusual losses for men of the quality that Ajax have at the front.
Even so, they added six three points, two weeks away from playing Borussia Dortmund.
