In an exhilarating preseason encounter against Shakhtar, Ghanaian talent Mohammed Kudus showcased his abilities on the field and more.
Kudus, sporting a new jersey number, captivated the audience as he propelled Ajax to victory, leaving fans ecstatic with his dynamic performance.
The young midfielder now dons the number 7 jersey, a change from his previous number 20 during his time at the Dutch club.
Last season, the number 7 shirt was worn by Dutch forward Steven Bergwijn, who joined Ajax from the Premier League team Tottenham.
In today’s match, Kudus started the game but was substituted at halftime, with Ajax securing a commanding 3-0 victory over the Ukrainian side.
Kudus kicked off the scoring for the Dutch giants, converting from the penalty spot in the 19th minute. He then turned provider, setting up Steven Bergwijn to score Ajax’s second goal in the 32nd minute.
Just two minutes later, the former FC Nordjaelland star found the back of the net again, extending Ajax’s lead to 3-0 after receiving a pass from Steven Bergwijn.
With a three-goal advantage at halftime, Ajax comfortably maintained their lead in the highly anticipated friendly at the Sportpark De Toekomst.
No further goals were scored in the second half, resulting in a decisive victory for Ajax over the Ukrainian opponents.
