Ajax is not a team, it is a disaster. But still, He has enough talent to be competitive in the Champions League. Two touches from Dolberg and Gloukh made Qarabag stop winning three points that would have taken a giant step towards a historic playoff round for the Kazakh club.
Ajax arrived in Baku with two 17-year-old players and another 18-year-old. With nothing at stake other than low spirits, interim coach Fred Grim did tests. But those who failed were not the youth players, but the established ones. Duran pushed Itakura out of the way and passed the ball over Jaros, who came out late. A 1-0 that did not surprise anyone.
The most active of Ajax was Raúl Moro, although he was misguided in most of his actions. Without ideas in attack, the Dutch tied with a spark of Dolberg, who hit him very hard from outside the area. Meanwhile, the locals continued to threaten Jaros’ goal.
After the break, Qarabag came out better and Matheus Silva collected a bad clearance from Jaros to make it 2-1. Start over for both: some trying to come back without ideas and others trying to defend what would be a giant step towards the playoff. The first ones got it.
In another isolated play, Gloukh, one of the greatest talents on the squad ajaciedscored from the front with his left foot. The score was almost 3-2 with a point-blank shot from Konadu that hit the goalkeeper and was achieved a little later, with a counter in which the 9 saw the full-back Gaaei enter like a motorcycle from the right. He crossed it very hard to make it 3-2 with less than ten minutes left.. Gloukh sentenced him, with the Qarabag turned to the attack, with 4-2 in the 90th minute to the contrary.
