After two encouraging performances, Ajax suffered another major disappointment. The fifth-place side in the Eredivisie was stuck at a draw (2-2) in the home match against Fortuna Sittard on Sunday. Substitute Brian Brobbey saved a point for the home team in the final phase. Ajax's fifth place in the Eredivisie is also in jeopardy. NEC can reduce the deficit to 1 point later on Sunday if they beat Heerenveen.
