Ajax Amsterdam experienced an ordeal on the lawn of USV Hercules (3-2), resident of the Dutch fourth division in the Dutch Cup. the amateur club scored the winning goal in the 93rd minute of play through Grotenbreg. “We share this pain and are deeply ashamed of it,” the club responded in a message to supporters. The managers therefore decided to make a gesture for the fans who had made the trip by reimbursing the price of the ticket and transport to those who wished it.
Ajax Amsterdam is experiencing a nightmare season with an extremely complicated start to the championship even if a turnaround has been made in recent weeks (5th, 23 points behind PSV Eindhoven after 16 days). Third in its group in the Europa League, the club along with Marseille has therefore given up on the Dutch Cup, a competition which they have won twenty times.
