🇳🇱 Ajax reach KNVB Cup semis with De Graafschap win | OneFootball

Ajax reached the KNVP Cup semi-finals with a convincing win over De Graafschap on Thursday.

Scorers: Sánchez 12′, Bergwijn 26′, Brobbey 78′

It was one-way traffic in Doetinchem as the Dutch giants cruised to the next round in their quest to win back the KNVB Cup from holders PSV Eindhoven.

Ajax dominated the pitch with 73% possession of the ball and registered 15 shots compared to nine from the hosts, three of which found the net.

Jorge Sánchez volleyed home the opener for an early lead and Steven Bergwijn doubled things minutes later from just outside the penalty area.

Coming out into the second half Ajax went on to assert their control of the match and Brian Brobbey added a goal to his name after assisting the opener with a darting strike.

Ajax will now move on to the semi-finals alongside Feyenoord, PSV and underdogs Spakenburg. The club has now reached this stage of the competition in five consecutive seasons for the first time ever.
