Jong Ajax won 1-0 away to Almere City FC in the Eerste Divisie, with Jano Monserrate scoring the only goal. The win was built on a single moment of quality and a stubborn defensive effort despite Almere City creating far more throughout the match.
The game stayed goalless until the 73rd minute, when Jano Monserrate scored from Pharrel Nash's assist to put Jong Ajax 0-1 up. Almere City could not find a reply before the final whistle. Five yellow cards followed in the closing stages, shown to Pugno Diego, Emanuel Poku, Marvyn Muzungu, Levi Acheampong and Milan de Haan.
Almere City dominated the attacking statistics, finishing with 23 shots to Jong Ajax's 14, 10 corners to four, and expected goals of 3.14 against 1.10. Jong Ajax had four shots on target, the same number as Almere City, and Monserrate's 73rd-minute strike was the difference.
