Jong Ajax beat Helmond Sport 3-2 in the Eerste Divisie, holding on after seeing a two-goal lead wiped out. Two early goals put them in charge, but Helmond hit back and made it 2-2 before Pugno Diego struck what proved to be the winner.

Pharrel Nash and Emre Ünüvar scored inside three minutes, both set up by Pugno Diego, to give Jong Ajax a 2-0 lead. Brian Koglin replied for Helmond before the break and Sem Dekkers levelled on 56 minutes. Jano Monserrate then set up Pugno Diego for the decisive goal on 64.
