Ajax Amsterdam won against Burnley (2-1) in a friendly match held at the Johan Cruijff Arena. In a fast-paced game largely controlled by the Dutch club, Abdellah Ouazane stood out by scoring the winning goal in the second half.
The Ajacides opened the scoring in the 34th minute through Aaron Bouwman. Following a cross from Caio Henrique and a first attempt saved by Maher Carrizo, the central defender followed up well to break the deadlock. Burnley then managed to equalize in the 62nd minute, with Jaydon Banel finishing with his left foot after a play initiated by Luca Koleosho.
The Ajax response was swift. Five minutes later, Don-Angelo Konadu made the difference with the ball at his feet before setting up Abdellah Ouazane. The young Moroccan finished perfectly with his right foot to restore the lead for his team in the 67th minute. He left the pitch two minutes later after playing a crucial role in his team’s success.
Beyond his goal, Ouazane delivered a complete performance. Rated 8.2 by Sofascore, he completed 21 of his 25 passes, provided two key passes, and created a significant chance. He also won five duels, made three recoveries, and executed a tackle. These statistics confirm his influence in Ajax’s play.
