Ajax beat PEC Zwolle 2-0 in the Eredivisie, though they had to wait until the final 15 minutes to make their dominance count. The match turned on 57 minutes when Sherel Floranus was sent off, leaving the hosts to defend with ten men.
Jorthy Mokio put Ajax ahead on 76 minutes, converting Tolu Arokodare's assist, and Julian Brandt added a second in the 90th, helped by Mika Godts. The goals came after a long spell of one-way pressure against a PEC Zwolle side that had kept Ajax out until then.
The stats underline how much Ajax controlled proceedings: 69% possession, 26 shots to seven, and an expected-goals advantage of 1.54 to 0.59. PEC Zwolle had the game's only big chance missed, but Ajax's patient possession eventually wore them down.
