In the 48th minute, Feyenoord 1 – 0 Ajax.
57th minute, Feyenoord 1 – 1 Ajax.
80th minute, Feyenoord 2 – 1 Ajax.
86th minute, Feyenoord 2 – 2 Ajax.
90th minute, Feyenoord 2 – 3 Ajax.
Full time, w00000000000000000000000000000000t! And the win is even sweeter given the fact that Ajax supporters were barred from entering de Kuip Stadion by the Rotterdam mayor.
With the win, Ajax is now second behind PSV. If AZ loses their next match, Ajax is up and running for the 2005/06 Champions’ League season. The first place is possible, however unlikely – but let’s celebrate first and worry later!
p/s – damn the hooligans. Here’s an explanation of what happened in Rotterdam:
Here goes!
The Ajax supporters (1,600) were divided over two trains from the ArenA to De Kuip. 800 on each train. I was on train #1. Just before arrival, less than one mile before De Kuip, some nutters managed to pull the emergency brake, in spite of riot police presence on board. The train was suddenly standing still, furniture was thrown out of the windows and approximately 30 hooligans managed to open the doors and get off the train. There weren’t many Feyenoord supporters there. Riot police were on the spot in no-time and secured the area.
