PEC wins first match of new football season
Football club PEC Zwolle beat Amsterdam’s Ajax to the silverware for the second time in a row on Sunday.
The team from Zwolle beat Ajax 1-0 to win the Johan Cruijff Plate, having won the Cup Final in April by beating Ajax 5-1.
The Johan Cruijff Plate opens the new football season and is a duel between last season’s football association cup winners and the league champions.
Ajax was the strongest team for most of the match, with PEC scoring the only goal ten minutes into the second half.
