Ajax left it late to claim a 2-2 draw in their final pre-season friendly with Monaco.
Scorers: Taylor 29', Traoré 87'; Biereth 34', Minamino 65'
Kenneth Taylor opened the scoring for the hosts shortly before the half-hour mark by slotting in after a neat-one two with Davy Klaassen in the penalty area.
Mika Biereth drew Les Monégasques level just five minutes later in a similar position after Caio Henrique teed him up with a mazy dribble to the byline.
They finally took the lead midway through the second half when Takumi Minamino met Jordan Teze's cross after he had dispossessed Mika Godts.
But the last word belonged to John Heitinga's side, who saw Bertrand Traoré equalise by converting Owen Wijndal's cutback from the lefthand side.
Ajax kick off their Eredivisie campaign at home to Telstar on 10 August.
