Ajax drew 1-1 with NEC in the Eredivisie at the Johan Cruijff ArenA. Tolu Arokodare gave Ajax an early lead in the sixth minute, but Tjaronn Chery equalised from the penalty spot after Jorthy Mokio fouled Noé Lebreton in the area. Ajax hit the bar through Mokio before halftime but did not turn its possession into a winning goal. Simon Adingra made his Ajax debut as a substitute. The result was Ajax's fourth match without a home win in five home league games. Ajax remains fifth with 15 points from eight matches, five points behind leader Feyenoord. Coach Míchel Sánchez said Ajax had not played well enough under NEC's pressure and needed to improve.
