Match report

Ajax next play FC Utrecht on Thursday in a catch up game. If they win, and then go on to beat AZ on Sunday, Ajax will clinch the league title and the double.

That game will have 7,500 supporters present, as part of the ongoing experiments with organising safe mass events despite the pandemic.
