The Ajax Daily Youth Team brings you all the latest news

The main focus this weekend is on the ABN Amro Future Cup, but there was also a fixture for Ajax U19 on the schedule. John Heitinga’s team visited ADO Den Haag U19.

Ryan Gravenberch and Liam van Gelderen were starting for Ajax U19. The two talents are also in the U17’s Future Cup-squad, but were still selected fort his game. Gravenberch, still 15 years old, played a very decent match. With a nice Zidane turn, he created the first chance of the game and this most certainly wouldn’t be the last event of the half. Ajax scored three times via Nicolas Kühn, Victor Jensen and Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, after which ADO did something back by scoring the 1-3. Just before half time, Serginho Dest was sent off due to a second bookable offense. This wouldn’t stop Ajax after the break though: they scored three goals in ten minutes. This time, Ekkelenkamp, Kühn and Gravenberch provided the goals. After these three goals, ADO did something back once more but they could not come any closer after two red cards. In the 69th minute, Ekkelenkamp scored the final goal and completed his hattrick by scoring the 2-7 from the penalty spot.
