Last night Ajax beat Dinamo Zagreb by 2- 1 for the Europa UEFA League and 4 HES Amsterdam students were there to enjoy the game. These lucky students won their tickets by playing Nintendo Wii at the HES Atrium last week.

The match

Ajax had to win in order to assure the first position in the group and eventually easily qualify to the knock-out round. Dinamo Zagreb seriously sucked big times. The croatian team didn’t really attack and just focus on surviving throughout the game. Ajax attacked since the first minute of the game and Suarez as usual provoked a penalty which made him score the first goal already in the 3rd minute of the game. Good chances had Ajax but the supporters had to wait until the 80th minute to celebrate again. As always, Suarez assisted Rommedahl who just had to push the ball to the bottom of the goal. In the last minute, Dinamo scored but it only matters for the statistics…

If you want to come to the next Ajax game, pay attention to the Babylonix emails, our posters around the school and most important participate in our activities.

See you next time!

Congrats winners!
