Match Recap
Ajax couldn't find a way past NEC Nijmegen, settling for a 1-1 draw at home in the Eredivisie after racing into an early lead. Tolu Arokodare put the hosts ahead inside seven minutes, but Tjaronn Chery had NEC level again by the 19th minute, and neither side found a second. It's a familiar script for these two: Ajax remain winless against NEC in their last two meetings, both ending in stalemates, and this one extends that run to three. Ajax sit fifth with 14 points off a DWWLW stretch, while NEC, 11th on 8 points, continue to scrap for consistency with a DLDLW run that still has more draws and losses than wins. For a team chasing the top of the table, dropping points at home to a side in NEC's position stings a little more. Arokodare's early strike was the kind of finish that should have set up a routine afternoon for Ajax, but Chery made sure Nijmegen left Amsterdam with something to show for it. Watch how Arokodare's seventh-minute opener and Chery's leveler both unfolded in the goal highlights below.
