Analysis The numbers behind the result
Ajax's clinical finishing and dominance in possession seal comfortable win
Ajax's 4-1 victory was a fair reflection of their superiority, as they outshot Vojvodina 18 to 9, with 10 shots on target compared to the hosts' 4. Despite Vojvodina's early equaliser through Petar Sukacev in the 28th minute, Ajax's 66% possession and 10 corners underscored their control. The visitors were more clinical, with Davy Klaassen (3'), Steven Berghuis (37'), Oscar Gloukh (52'), and Mohamed Abdalla (90+3') all converting chances, while Vojvodina managed just 4 shots on target from 9 attempts.
Tactically, Ajax's high press and efficient passing (89% accuracy) allowed them to dominate, with Gloukh and Berghuis particularly influential. Vojvodina's 34% possession and 18 fouls highlighted their struggle to contain Ajax's fluid attack. The decisive stat was Ajax's 10 shots on target, illustrating their ability to consistently test the goalkeeper and convert opportunities, while Vojvodina's 3 yellow cards further disrupted their rhythm.
