For the fifth time in a row, Ajax came away victorious in the 'Klassieker' on Sunday afternoon. On a visit to the Kuip in which the Ajax players struggled at times, they were extremely disciplined, and eventually won 0-2. The goals were scored by Marcos Senesi (own goal) and Dusan Tadic (penalty kick).
Steven Berghuis had two reasons to celebrate on Sunday - his thirtieth birthday and Ajax’s 0-2 win against Feyenoord. This was his first time returning to the Kuip as an Ajax player. The Ajax bus was met with a lot of fireworks. ''I am grateful to Ajax, Feyenoord and the police for how they arranged the arrival. It was exciting for a bit, but you also have to be mature about that.''
Davy Klaassen is looking forward to Sunday's Klassieker. The midfielder expects a great match and realizes that Ajax will have to be at their best in order to win.
