Last Thursday night, Ajax and FC Twente officially began their European qualifying campaign. After an unsuccessful season in the Eredivisie, Ajax is currently participating in the Conference League qualifiers, while FC Twente is already in the Europa League qualifiers.
FC Twente hosted the big Hungarian team, Ferencvaros, but had difficulty finding victory. Right from the 15th minute, striker Hattian Lenny Joseph scored the opening goal for the away team. Although FC Twente equalized before the end of the first half thanks to defender Aske Adelgaard, just 10 minutes later, Lenny Joseph scored again to increase the score to 2-1 for Ferencvaros. FC Twente will now have to march to Hungary and try to turn the situation around, a task that is not easy. If unsuccessful, they will be dropped to the Conference League, and Ajax could fall into the same situation if FC Twente does not qualify.
Meanwhile, Ajax had a trip to Serbia against Vojvodina and had an impressive victory. Davy Klaassen scored the early opener for Ajax, but Peter Sukacev brought the match back into balance by scoring the equalizer before half-time. However, Ajax did not let the balance last long, as Steven Berghuis scored to increase the score to 2-1. Oscar Gloukh and youngster Mohamed Abdalla scored two more goals, helping Ajax end the match with a score of 4-1. With this form, Ajax is completely confident that it will maintain its advantage when returning home in the return match next week.
The European qualifying campaign is going very hot, and both Ajax and FC Twente are facing big challenges. Ajax with a victory will definitely be the team that is more appreciated in the return leg, while FC Twente needs to make a lot of effort if they want to continue their European dream.
What happens next
FC Twente will face a big challenge when they travel to Hungary to face Ferencvaros, where they need to turn the situation around to continue their Europa League dream. Ajax, on the other hand, will continue their campaign with confidence after an impressive win, which could give them momentum in their next matches. Both teams need to improve their performance to progress further in European tournaments.
