Ajax beat Panathinaikos in Europa League 3rd round qualifier
An away goal from Steven Berghuis put Ajax one step closer to participation in this year’s Europa League tournament on Thursday evening.
The win, against Panathinaikos in Athens, puts the Amsterdammers in a good position ahead of the return leg of the third-round qualifying competition next week.
A second win means Ajax has just one more play-off to go through to qualify for the second-tier European tournament.
At home, the domestic competition kicks off on Friday evening with the first Eredivisie match of the season between Groningen and NAC – both of which won promotion to the Dutch premier league. Ajax are in action on Sunday.
