Ajax drew 1-1 with NEC at the Johan Cruijff ArenA. Tolu Arokodare gave Ajax an early lead, but Tjaronn Chery equalised from the penalty spot after Jorthy Mokio was judged to have fouled Noé Lebreton. Simon Adingra made his Ajax debut as a substitute, while Aaron Bouwman and Abdellah Ouazane also came on. The result left Ajax fifth after eight Eredivisie matches, with 15 points and five points behind leaders Feyenoord. It was Ajax’s fourth league match without a home win this season.
