Ziyech Stunner Helps Ajax Ease Past Valencia

By Daily Sports on October 3, 2019

Hakim Ziyech’s brilliant goal sent Ajax on their way to an impressive 3-0 victory at Valencia on Wednesday as last season’s semifinalists took control of Champions League Group H.

Ziyech’s stunning strike gave Ajax an eighth-minute lead at Mestalla, before Daniel Parejo missed a penalty for the hosts and Quincy Promes made it two.

An excellent team goal, finished off by Donny van de Beek, capped another eye-catching display by Ajax as they continued to make light of losing Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt to Barcelona and Juventus in the close season respectively.

“In the first half, Valencia were much better, in my eyes. We didn’t defend well,” the 22-year-old Van de Beek told uefa.com.

“The second half was much better – we made nice goals and winning 3-0 away is really nice. We made the chances and finished them well. In the end, we could have had one or two goals more.”

Erik ten Hag’s men now lead the group by three points from Valencia and Chelsea after the Londoners edged out Lille 2-1 in France in Wednesday’s other game.

Ajax beat Lille 3-0 in Amsterdam a fortnight ago and have now stretched their unbeaten away run in the Champions League, including qualifiers, to 13 matches. (SuperSport)
