Ajax-2 wins second match in Amstel Cup

  
ADO'20

14 August: The reserves of Ajax have won their second match in the group of the Amstel Cup. Today they beat amateur side ADO'20 by a score of 3-1. Ajax-2 played with a lot of players from the A-selection of Co Adriaanse. Knopper, Wamberto, Heitinga, Cruz, Vierklau and Ikedia all played in this match.

South-African striker Steven Pienaar opened the scoring after 25 minutes. Five minutes later Knopper made it 2-0. Stefano Seedorf (cousin of Clarence) secured the victory some 20 minutes before the end of the game, making it 3-0. The amateurs of ADO'20 saved face by scoring a goal. After an ill-advised pass by Heitinga, ADO player Macnack got the ball and scored the 3-1 ('78)

Ajax-2 is now 99% assured of advancing to the next round. Only if they lose their last match against Volendam and Huizen wins their match with lots of goals will Ajax fail to go through.(BV)
