and Ajax draw 1-1 |
08 Nov 2002

|
Roda and Ajax have treated their
fans to an attractive game in the Parkstad Limburg stadium with both teams
playing attacking football and plenty of goal-scoring chances on both sides.
Ajax were without the injured Cristian Chivu, Jari Litmanen, Andy van der
Meyde and John O'Brien but got off to a good start. Within theng
minute Zlatan Ibrahimovic had a greatng but his shot was too weak to
surprise Vladan Kujovic. The Yugoslavian goalie had to react alertly to a Van
der Vaart shot whose shot ricocheted off the keeper onto the post. Yannis
Anastasiou and Tom Soetaers has chances for Roda but their efforts failed to
trouble the Australian goal-stopper and Hatem Trabelsi cleared Ivan Vicelich's
header off the line in the 23rd. The 'Kerkrade Crew' had the better of the
early chances in the 2nd act with Soetaers shooting wide in the 46th and two
minutes later Christiano narrowly failed to connect with a Sonko pass. Two
fine saves by Kujovic, stopping Ibrahimovic's shot and Van der Vaart's
header, in the 59th kept the scoreboard clean. Three minutes later Didulica
failed to smother a Predrag Filipovicá cross and Sonko pounced on the
chance to notch up his 5th of the season. In response Ronald Koeman brought
on Victor Sikora and Wamberto for Richard Witschge and Ibrahimovic but it
was Van der Vaart who showed one of his famous turns to slot home a finely
placed ball in the 72nd for the equalizer. The teams took the remaining 15
minutes at an easy pace, happy to have a point each.
