Fortuna Sittard – Ajax

Ajax stormed into the Fortuna Sittard arena and turned a 1‑5 defeat into a statement win, stretching their goal tally to 14 while conceding just six this season. The Dutch giants’ victory moved them to fifth place on 10 points, level on points with seventh‑placed Fortuna but with a superior goal difference that underscores their attacking edge. Fortuna, despite scoring 12 this campaign, slipped further down the table after their third loss, leaving them with ten points from three wins, a draw and two defeats. The result also settled the head‑to‑head this season in Ajax’s favour, as they now hold the sole win in the two meetings between the clubs.
