 Ineffective Ajax 'forget' to beat Willem II: 1-0   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Willem II's only noteworthy shot on target (just wide of it, actually) before their goal, came from the boot of Martijn Reuser, the only former Ajacied in the home side's line-up (Michel Kreek and Kevin Bobson were missing due to injury - and so, by the way, were defenders Van Nieuwstadt and Mathijssen).
The first half, in which Willem II had hardly crossed the middle line but were 1-0 up nonetheless, would end even more miserable for Ajax: in the 42nd minute Maxwell evaded a Nuelson Wau tackle with a simple jump, but came down unluckily, twisted his right knee and was almost immediately screaming in agony.
After the break Ajax's pressure on the Willem II defense was even bigger than in the first half, their counter-attacks even smaller in number and the number of major chances for Ajax even larger.
