Ajax beat FC Midtjylland 6-1 away in the Conference League. Tolu Arokodare opened the scoring, but Friday Etim equalised for the Danish side. Midtjylland were reduced to 10 men before half-time when Kjell-Arik Wätjen received a second yellow card. Arokodare restored Ajax’s lead after the break and also provided an assist. Owen Wijndal, Davy Klaassen, Oscar Gloukh and Marcos Leonardo added the other goals. The match started late after a problem with the stadium lights during the warm-up. Ajax’s next Conference League match is at home to FC Thun.
