00:00Mika Götz is on the run, cover across is good enough. Is it fair though? Not according to the referee. A foul by Pavel Botniavits and the referee feels that it warrants a red card. He didn't get the ball. Did he get the play of that much though?
00:27It's going to stand. Oh, no, it's not. He's wiped it out. Berckhaus wraps that one round the post with van der Haart scrambling across.
00:42Another delay as well. Jansa, forward to Mika Götz, turns infield, Götz squares, Linssen, Ajax ahead on the stroke of half time.
00:55Christian Hilsen scored seven Eredivisie goals last season. He's got his first this and Francesco Farioli's team lead just before the break.
01:08Again, it's out to, God, so much space. Can they make it two? Yes, they are. No, they can't. I was about to say, yes, they can as it fell to Tuba Akpom.
01:21Van den Boomen hit the post. He should have scored and Akpom should have done the same. No excuses. It should have been 2-0.
01:28Jordan Henderson hasn't scored for more than two and a half years. His last goal was in the Merseyside Derby, a 4-1 win over Everton.
01:38He's actually going to leave it. Traore, good save from van der Haart. And that is that. Not a convincing performance, but a win nonetheless for Ajax on the opening weekend of the season.
01:54Robin van Persie's team held their own, but they conceded late in the first half to Christian Hilsen, which means it's finished 1-0 to the home team.
