Ajax’s Late Collapse Leads to Draw Against Excelsior

This past weekend, Ajax relinquished a 2-0 lead against Excelsior, resulting in another disappointing draw for the team. This marks their second instance of dropping points against the Kralingers this season. What went wrong?

At halftime in the Stadion Woudestein, Ajax appeared to be in control of the match. Mika Godts had scored twice, and the Rotterdam team seemed unable to respond. However, the dynamics shifted dramatically after the break.

During a discussion on Voetbalpraat on ESPN, analyst Kenneth Pérez addressed the match, focusing particularly on Ajax’s performance. He remarked, “They are playing partially good matches, which gives the impression that everything is fine. But what happens then? We have already seen this against Go Ahead Eagles, Telstar, and Volendam. On Sunday, they dropped two points against an otherwise struggling Excelsior,” the Danish commentator noted.
