Hahahahaha! Own goal baby!
Aggregate 2-3.
This must be some kind of harsh justice placed upon Ajax by some kind of soccer god (tag) :
FC København defied the odds to overturn a 2-1 first leg deficit with a 2-0 win at AFC Ajax that earned them a place in the UEFA Champions League group stage.
An own goal from Belgian defender Thomas Vermaelen proved to be the decider on the night as the Dutch side somehow conspired to lose a tie which always seemed poised in their favour.
There go millions of Euros.
Despite feeling obviously disappointed, Ajax doesn’t deserve to be in the Champions League. By last season’s standard, we should have been in the UEFA Cup, which we are currently now. AZ Alkmaar should have played this match instead of Ajax. But somehow, the KNVB screwed AZ last season.
Nonetheless, loss is a loss and we all should be sporting enough to admit to defeat. All the luck for FC Copenhagen.
