Dusan Tadic, Zakaria Labyad and Lisandro Martinez were the goal scorers as Ajax recorded a comfortable home win.

Kudus was, however, voted man of the match in the aftermath of the game in recognition of his imperious performance in midfield.

The young midfielder joined Ajax from Nordsjaelland in July in a deal worth €9.5 million, signing a five-year deal.
