Unseen hero rescues late point for Ajax in Alkmaar | OneFootball

Kian Fitz-Jim headed in the third minute of second half stoppage time to earn Ajax a 1-1 draw at AZ.

Introduced in the 66th minute, Fitz-Jim quickly added thrust between the lines for the Godenzonen. He then found space in the area, only for a right-footed effort to be blocked (82.).

The decisive moment arrived in the third minute of second half stoppage time, when he ghosted into the centre to glance a header into the bottom left from Oliver Edvardsen's cross.

Fitz-Jim finished with two attempts, one on target, three touches in the box and six successful final third passes, a sharp cameo that tilted the closing stages.

His timing from midfield and constant runs into the inside left channel pushed AZ's back line deeper, creating the wide lane the Godenzonen exploited for the late delivery.

The Godenzonen host Fortuna Sittard next. AZ visit Excelsior.
