Ajax drop a couple of points
in Waalwijk and lose pole position to PSV after this 1-1 draw against RKC,
who once more prove that they are no push-over for the Ere Divisie top. Ajax
should have decided the match in theng half but, Zlatan Ibrahimovic in
particular, couldn't find the back of the net. Things didn't improve for the
Amsterdammers after the break as Martin Jol's team grew ever more confident.
Rick Hoogendorpd the score for the home team in the 58th with a
freekick goal after Christian Chivu had been sent off for felling the
striker. The referee, René Temmink, halted the match for 10 minutes, due to
offensive chanting by sections of the crowd, which actually gave the
Amsterdammers time to recover and Maxwell equalized for them in the 70th.
