A top-four spot in the Eredivisie looks out of reach for Ajax this season. The club lost the away match at AZ (2-0) and will mainly have to defend their fifth place in the coming weeks after a series of four league games with only 2 points won. Go Ahead Eagles are only 2 points behind the record champion of the Netherlands. Ruben van Bommel was the main man for AZ, scoring two goals and following in his father's footsteps; he also had a good scoring record against Ajax while playing for Fortuna Sittard and PSV.
