Brian Brobbey’s clinical finish helped Ajax secure a commanding 2-0 victory over PEC Zwolle in Round 13 of the Eredivisie at the Johan Cruijff ArenA. The Dutch-born Ghanaian striker broke the deadlock in the 27th minute, capitalizing on a corner to fire a thunderous shot into the net, leaving Zwolle’s defense with no chance.
Ajax, with a dominant head-to-head record of 17 wins to Zwolle’s three, controlled the match from start to finish, enjoying 58% possession and dictating the pace. Their attacking momentum paid off again in the 63rd minute when Josip Sutalo rose high to meet Jordan Henderson’s pinpoint cross, doubling the lead with a powerful header.
PEC Zwolle had moments of promise, registering five shots and testing Ajax’s backline with sporadic counterattacks, but they lacked the cutting edge to capitalize. Brobbey’s decisive strike marked his second direct goal contribution of the season and set the tone for Ajax’s controlled performance.
The win bolsters Ajax’s campaign as they prepare for a crucial Europa League tie against Real Sociedad on November 28. Meanwhile, PEC Zwolle continues their search for consistency in the league.
