Key Highlights

  • Ajax equalised six minutes before the break with Kasper Dolberg cutting inside and rifling a shot from distance into the bottom corner. The hosts retook the lead two minutes after half-time in Azerbaijan when Matheus Silva’s shot took a deflection off defender Lucas Rosa.
  • With five defeats from their first five league phase games, Ajax were effectively facing elimination with another defeat – but the visitors produced a dramatic late fightback. Oscar Gloukh drew Ajax level again 11 minutes from time with a drilled low shot into the bottom corner.
  • Four minutes later, the visitors went ahead as Anton Gaaei finished a counterattack with a fine finish into the top corner.
  • Gloukh made sure of the win with his second goal in the last minute. Andreas Cornelius celebrates his late winner for Copenhagen at La Cerámica.
