Ajax is back from hell and goes to Norway to qualify! Despite losing 2-0 in Amsterdam to the excellent Bodo/Glimt, Van de Boomen and Berghaus managed to draw 2-2 and stay in '16 »!
The match at the Johan Cruyff Arena began with the worst omen for Ajax, after Groenebeck opened the scoring in the 16th minute, surprising John Vanchip's players! Ajax pressed for an equalizer before the end of the first half, but fell to the amazing Hogg.
The Dutch entered the second half with the same philosophy, but Bodo/Glimt, with Groenbeek's second personal goal, reached an important qualifying result!
Time was pressing for Ajax and at the 90+2 minute, in an unexpected phase, Bjortoft brought down Probbe and the referee awarded a penalty kick after using the video assistant referee. The execution was carried out by Van de Boomen who had done nothing wrong, giving Ajax hope! Steven Berghaus saved the game for Ajax in a dead time with an excellent goal, making the final 2-2!
The great Dinamo Zagreb won at the Benito Villamarin Stadium over Betis with a goal by Petkovic in the 76th minute after a penalty kick (0-1) and is waiting for them at the Maxi Mir Stadium to finish the job.
Piero is the savior for Maccabi Haifa, scoring his side's only goal against Gent and giving them a slight lead heading into the return leg!
Accounts were left open by Servais and Ludogorets, who were “stuck” at 0-0 and will give everything they can in the rematch in Bulgaria to reach the next round.
