Stat of the Match: Vitezslav Jaros made five saves, a platform for the Godenzonen's stoppage time rescue.

Three Things We Learned: AZ carried the greater threat, registering six shots on target to Ajax's two despite only 37.9% possession. VAR's intervention to chalk off Troy Parrott's effort (75.) proved pivotal before the late leveller. Peer Koopmeiners created three key passes and two big chances, repeatedly supplying AZ's front line.
