Jong Ajax
Helmond Sport
Jong Ajax delivered a commanding second-half performance to overwhelm Helmond Sport 5-1 in the Eerste Divisie. After taking a comfortable 2-0 lead through Lucas Jetten and S. Vink before the break, the young Ajax side weathered an early second-half response from Brian Koglin before unleashing a devastating final 30 minutes. Abdellah Ouazane restored the two-goal cushion in the 68th minute, before late substitute Pharell Nash made an immediate impact and Paulo Silva capped off a clinical display with two goals in stoppage time. The emphatic victory showcases the depth and quality in Jong Ajax's squad, while Helmond Sport will rue their inability to build on Koglin's promising response that briefly threatened a comeback.
