Ajax 1:0 Olympiacos — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Ajax edged Olympiacos 1-0 in a Club Friendly, with forward Mika Godts earning man-of-the-match honours, though there is no next fixture to set up. The Dutch side dominated from start to finish but required a late breakthrough to secure the result.

The match seemed destined for a goalless stalemate until the 81st minute, when Oliver Valaker Edvardsen turned home from close range after Jinairo Johnson’s assist. Olympiacos had two players booked in quick succession just before half-time—Rodinei and Santiago Hezze—but could not find a response, and Ajax’s Abdellah Ouazane also saw yellow late on.

Possession told the story: Ajax had 62% to Olympiacos’s 38%, fired 19 shots to 10, and won nine corners to four—a clear case of the losing side being outplayed but undone by a single moment. Mika Godts was the standout, earning a 7.9 rating as Ajax’s forward without a goal or assist. CheckLive’s model rated Olympiacos the clearer side, but the result proved it wrong, as Ajax controlled the game throughout.
