AFC Ajax survived a tough match in Zwolle thanks to goals from Mokio and Mika Godts. The Belgian, who may be saying goodbye, provided the assist for new signing Brandt. Ajax, which finished fifth in the Eredivisie last season with 51 points, remains on track for a strong start to the new season.
What happened?
The match began with uncertainty. Ajax announced just before kickoff that Mika Godts was 'not fit enough' to start. Was this a precaution due to his possible transfer to PSG, or a real injury? Either way, Godts started on the bench and watched as Ajax struggled against PEC Zwolle. Only after a red card for the home team on the hour did Godts and Mokio come into action.
Why is this important for Ajax?
The win in Zwolle is an important step for Ajax, which scored 57 goals and conceded 37 last season. With a new attack, including new signing Brandt, the club aims to close the 23-point gap to champion PSV Eindhoven this season.
What comes next?
In the coming days, it will become clear whether Mika Godts actually leaves for PSG. For Ajax, the focus now is on maintaining this good form and going into the next matches with confidence.
