📸 Miss of the season contender as Ajax collapse against PEC Zwolle | OneFootball

Ajax’s uptick in form was put to a halt on Sunday after a collapse against PEC Zwolle.

Scorers: Brobbey 35′, 48′; Thy 60′, 89′

Assistant manager Michael Valkanis took charge of the club as manager John van’t Schip was in Australia for his son’s wedding – but it initially seemed the Amsterdam giants were on course for another victory.

Brian Brobbey scored a brace to put the hosts in control, however, PEC Zwolle silenced Johan Cruijff ArenA and had some help thanks to a miss of the season contender.

Lennart Thy pulled one back for the hosts, and given their control of the game, Ajax again had a chance to restore their two-goal lead.

However, Steven Berghuis tripped over his own feet a few steps out from a wide-open net, and the opportunity came back to haunt them.

An impressive bicycle kick from Thy in the dying moments then ensured the points were split in what will go down as a stunning slip from the hosts.

He is the first PEC Zwolle player with two league goals against Ajax in the same match since Michel van Oostrum in 1988.

The result ended Ajax’s winning league run at four games and they sit fifth in the table while Zwolle are 11th.
