Ajax steamrolls Fortuna in final half-hour, starring role for debutant Thilo Kehrer

Ajax secured a 5-1 away victory against Fortuna Sittard, driven by a standout performance from debutant Thilo Kehrer. After a competitive first hour, the visitors dominated the final thirty minutes with goals from Kehrer, Davy Klaassen, Oscar Gloukh, Kasper Dolberg, and Youri Baas.

Ajax recovered from their recent league defeat by securing a 5-1 victory against Fortuna Sittard. Although the match remained competitive for the majority of the game, Ajax broke the deadlock in the final thirty minutes of play. German defender Thilo Kehrer, making his starting debut for the club, played a pivotal role by scoring the go-ahead goal and providing an assist for Davy Klaassen. Following the breakthrough, substitute players Oscar Gloukh and Kasper Dolberg extended the lead before Youri Baas finalized the scoring in stoppage time.

Earlier in the match, Julian Brandt had opened the scoring for Ajax with a spectacular volley, though Fortuna briefly leveled the score through Anthony Descotte shortly after halftime. Despite the eventual lopsided result, Ajax faced significant resistance from the home side throughout the first hour. With this win, Ajax moves to fifth place in the league standings, level on points with Excelsior, while Fortuna remains in seventh place. The victory serves as an important bounce-back performance for the Amsterdam-based team.
