PHOENIX STILL GROUNDED!
(Klaas-Jan Huntelaar celebrates his quick goal!)
If anyone was thinking this match was going to be close all that seemed to go away in a minute when Klaas quickly stole the ball ran up field and blasted in past the keeper. But then the thought cam back again when the game seemed to be in Phoenix's favor. They pulled some nice passes together and held possession and were unlucky many times not to go level but Ajax were determined to keep there lead and they regained control in the 25th minute when Huntelaar missed some chances. Then in the 34th minute when Arshavin broke and scored his first goal for Ajax. Celebrations were wield for both team and fans. Phoenix some how turned things around and again regained control but Ajax held out and went into the break leading by 2 goals.
The teams came back out and Ajax seemed asleep compared to there the phoenix, they were played all over but still phoenix couldn't get a goal. But one mistake from them woke Ajax up. In the 62nd minute Ajax received a free kick, Huntelaar toke it. He crossed it in and Aissati's header just went over. The game from then was back and fourth so Ajax manger Marco van Basten decided they needed a change but that didn't happen in till the 86th minute when he toke off Lindgren for Vertonghen and Cvitanich came on for Huntelaar. This didn't really do much but Ajax held out for the victory in there first pre-season match.
Final Score: Wellington Phoenix 0-2 Ajax
