Ajax made the trip to the 711 Stadion look straightforward on Sunday, 30 August 2026, easing past Telstar 0-4 in an Eredivisie clash that never really felt in doubt after half-time. The visitors led just 0-1 at the break, and for a while Telstar had reason to believe, working their way into the game and even edging the corner count 5-4. But Ajax had the sharper edge in front of goal, converting 9 of their 12 shots on target chances into a comfortable away day, despite only shading possession 58% to 42%. Steven Berghuis was the difference-maker, picking up the man of the match award with a rating of 9.3 that barely does justice to how much he dictated things once Ajax found their rhythm. Telstar had their moments, managing 11 shots of their own, four on target, but couldn't find a way past a well-organised Ajax side. Three points on the road puts Ajax in good early-season form, while Telstar will need to sharpen up in front of goal if they're to avoid similar afternoons.
The Matchup
Telstar 0-4 Ajax was the final score at 711 Stadion, in a game where Ajax did enough across the ninety minutes to deserve the three points. Even without the extra share of possession, which finished 42% in favour of Telstar, Ajax made the most of the chances that mattered and did enough to see the game out. The shot count told a similar story, with 11 attempts from Telstar against 12 from Ajax over the course of the game. It was not always comfortable for Ajax, and Telstar pushed for a way back into the game, but the result stood. Games like this can carry real weight later in the season, so this is a scoreline worth remembering. Below is a closer look at how the match broke down, statistically.
