Ajax finish 2024 with a 0-2 win against Sparta Rotterdam

NL Times  

Ajax won their last match of 2024 on Sunday. Ajax played the first half in a 3-5-2 formation, with Chuba Akpom and Anton Gaaei keeping the width. Sparta, currently managed by former Ajax manager Maurice Steijn, looked like a team devoid of confidence after their poor first six months of the season, which has them in 16th place. Ajax came closest to a goal in the 27th minute when Akpom played a through ball to Jorrel Hato, his cross found Gaaei, but his sliding effort went wide of the goal. Midfielder Kenneth Taylor came close to breaking the deadlock when his header was saved by Nick Olij before the next attack, which led to Farioli’s side being awarded a penalty.
