Ajax extend lead in Dutch Eredivisie

The Hague, Jan 27 Ajax extended their lead in the Dutch Eredivisie after a narrow 1-0 victory against Go Ahead Eagles.

Ajax dominated the match in Deventer Sunday. However, Niklas Moisander, Kolbeinn Sigthorsson and Lesley de Sa squandered good chances, reports Xinhua.

Ajax substitute Lasse Schone scored in the 74th minute. His first free-kick attempt bounced straight back from the wall and from the rebound his second attempt went into the bottom corner.

“I am happy,” said Ajax coach Frank de Boer afterwards at the press conference.

“We had a good weekend. I think only one team deserved to win, which was our team, but we could have lost points here.”
