Ajax Secures Comfortable Victory Over Fortuna Sittard Despite Wijndal’s Struggles

omidbasir- On Saturday evening, Ajax faced Fortuna Sittard in an Eredivisie match, finally enjoying a game without significant challenges, cruising to a 4-1 victory. However, Karim El Ahmadi noted that Owen Wijndal struggled with his performance.

Wijndal was brought on just minutes into the match to replace the injured Oleksandr Zinchenko, who is set to miss the remainder of the season due to a serious injury. This situation means more playing time for Wijndal, but he failed to leave a lasting impression against Fortuna. “Wijndal was at fault for the goal we conceded. He had already been warned to maintain his defensive line and seemed inattentive in the 43rd minute. A minute later, the goal was scored, and he was still not alert.”

Another often-criticized defender, Sutalo, performed better this time, despite scoring an own goal. “Sutalo had an unfortunate moment but otherwise played quite well. He appeared composed on the ball,” remarked fellow analyst Kenneth Perez. He emphasized that even with a significant lead, Ajax cannot afford to relax. “What I appreciate about this Ajax team is that it is never over. Even with a 3-0 lead, you cannot sit back. One must remain vigilant, as the score could easily turn to 3-3.”
