| Ajax
beat Apollon Lissamol 2 - 0 |
20 Sept 2001
|
| The
match began with the quietest 60 seconds of respectful silence for the
victims of the American tragedy you could imagine - you could almost
literally hear a pin drop! Still the stadium was more empty than full -
this meeting not interesting enough for the fans?! New
boy-on-the-block Zlatan pleased the ones who had
bothered to turn up with an early goal in the 4th minute and headed just
wide minutes later from a Mido cross. The Cypriots almost profited from a defensive error early on but the
attempt went wide. As was expected Ajax dominated and most of the action
took place in the Apollon half but unfortunately during the rest of the
match the Amsterdammers showed their inexperience
as a team again. They have all the talent you could wish for but
it's still pretty raw and didn't gel tonight. The crowd grew more and more
restless as the minutes went by and the rest of the expected goal spree
goals didn't arrive - there was a considerable amount of whistling and
calls for "football, football!" The 2nd half was no better as
Ajax failed to impress and was pretty poor viewing - at least Machlas
managed to find the back of the net with the 2nd goal in the 58th
but that was small compensation for the disappointed few in the stands.
