Champions League playoffs: Ajax cleared by APOEL Nicosia 0-0

Nicosia - Ajax Amsterdam failed to take home APOEL Nicosia's home win. That's after Ajax drew and was blank.

Ajax played the first leg of the 2018-2020 series at the Neo GSP stadium on Wednesday (08/21/2019), early this morning. Despite being a guest, Ajax played aggressively with 19 attempts, including six goals.

In addition, Ajax is also superior to ball possession of up to 71%. APOEL also disrupted Ajax with only 11 attempts, including three on purpose.


Bringing down his best team with Dusan Tadic in attack and supported by trio Donny van de Beek, Judge Ziyech and David Neres, Ajax had played aggressively since the first minute.

They have created opportunities that have endangered APOEL Vid Belec's trustees several times. But the opportunity was spoiled and not a goal.

There was Ajax who even lost his right-back, Noussair Mazraoui, who received a second yellow card in the 80th minute. By playing less than one person in the last 10 minutes, Ajax can reduce APOEL.

Score 0-0 closed this match and Ajax replaced APOEL at Johan Cruyff ArenA on Thursday (8/29/2019) early morning, to fight for tickets to the Champions League group stage. Ajax must win if you want to escape.

In other matches, Club Brugge won 1-0 at LASK with a penalty from Hans Venaken in the 10th minute. While Slavia Prague won 1-0 on their way to CFR Cluj.
