Mohamed Salah broke the game's deadlock after 17 minutes before the Ghana international levelled ten minutes later. Cameroon centre-back Joel Matip header home the winner in the final minutes of the game to deny Ajax a point.

Before the winner, Kudus had been replaced by striker Brian Brobbey.

Mohammed Kudus has been in a rich run of form for Ajax, scoring five goals in his last four games for the Dutch champions.
