Despite the early setback, Ajax's offense exploded. Julian Brandt scored in the 10th and 60th minutes, Aaron Bouwman added a goal in the 37th, and a brace from "Jordi Muki" (70th and 75th minutes) sealed the win, with "Briniphor Williamson" scoring a temporary consolation for Groningen. Ajax displayed strong cohesion and hunger throughout the game.
