Mohammed Kudus, a Ghanaian international, scored his first goal ever on Sunday from a direct free-kick to give Ajax a 4-0 victory over Sparta Rotterdam.
On the left side of a front three, Kudus started for his team in today’s Eredivisie matchup during Week 22.
Ajax had too much talent and ran riot over the opposition towards the conclusion of the one-sided contest, despite Sparta Rotterdam’s best efforts to shock the home team.
In the first half, Dusan Tadic scored in the 6th minute to give the hosts the lead. Later in the game, a strike from Kenneth Taylor doubled the advantage for Ajax before the break.
While Dusan Tadic would net a second in the 64th minute, Mohammed Kudus also got his name on the scoresheet via a direct free kick with six minutes to end the game to seal a delightful 4-0 win for his team.
Coincidentally, Christian Atsu’s last goal before he passed was a direct free-kick.
To celebrate the goal, the player unveiled a shirt with the caption ‘RIP Atsu’ as he paid his respect to the late Black Stars winger who was confirmed dead on Saturday.
