After relatively easy wins
over Breidablik U19 and PAOK U19...
...Ajax U19 now have to face
Juventus U19.
It's the team of striker Moise Kean...
...who played in the Champions League
and Serie A.
This is Carel Eiting, captain of Ajax U19.
This game is a play-off to get to
the final 16 in the Youth League...
...which is the main tournament
after the so-called Domestic Path.
It's still early but players are already
asking for yellow cards.
This time it's Juventus captain
Clemenza.
He takes the free kick
and finds the head of Moise Kean.
But he heads the ball straight into keeper
Van Bladeren's hands.
This is Fabio Grosso,
Juventus U19's coach...
...an Italian hero at the World
Championship of 2006.
And this is the first attempt of Kaj
Sierhuis, Ajax U19's top scorer.
Straight at keeper Audero.
Dani de Wit can get the pass off...
...but Sierhuis' shot
is not powerful enough.
Long pass from the back by Kemper
to Anderson Lopez.
He passes to Sierhuis...
...but Vogliacco's foot gets in the way
and it's a corner kick.
Sierhuis scored the finest goal of the
tournament...
...an overhead kick against Breidablik.
Sidoul's header is off-target.
Ajax have dominated the first half...
...but Juventus are always looking
for the counter-attack.
Moise Kean passes, the ball is headed
on to captain Clemenza...
...but Ajax miraculously escape
when his shot hits the post...
...and rolls along the goal line.
So it's a lucky escape for Ajax
just before the break.
Van Bladeren can only watch.
Bad luck for Clemenza.
Zeefuik goes to the front.
The ball is cleared
but Eiting gets it.
Ajax are in the lead!
Great shot by Carel Eiting.
The captain scored twice for Ajax 2
on Friday evening...
...and joined Ajax 1 at Roda JC.
And now this tremendous goal.
Antonucci's rocket, Sierhuis' overhead...
...and now it's Eiting who drills the ball
into the top corner.
What a great moment to score.
Juventus are frustrated.
Captain Clemenza
only had eyes for Eiting's legs.
He's lucky to get away with a yellow
for this foul.
Matthijs de Ligt is not playing today,
just like Justin Kluivert.
De Ligt is injured.
Lopez crosses and it's a goal!
The first chance after the break
is converted by Kaj Sierhuis.
Sierhuis is deadly in the box...
...because he rarely misses.
This shot was technically superb.
Left foot, out of Audero's reach.
Ajax have a comfortable lead: 2-0.
And Juventus are not a minor team.
They were second in their group
with Zagreb, Lyon and Sevilla.
Another nice attack by Ajax
but out of reach for Redan...
...who was substituted for Boultam.
Grosso's team are behind.
Two years ago things went wrong
for Ajax U19...
...in this round against AS Roma.
Last year they moved on
against Sevilla.
Another Ajax attack
ends with a shot by Sierhuis.
But straight into the keeper's hands.
Ajax dominate the second half...
...but Juventus have Moise Kean:
strong, fast and skilful.
Through Sidoul's legs and...
A great save by Van Bladeren.
He was able
to divert it across the back line.
So Van Bladeren put his mark
on this game.
A great save
against Moise Kean's toe-kick.
Another long ball to Moise Kean.
After a duel with Bakker
he goes for someone else's legs.
Another brutal foul of an Italian player.
Noa Lang is the victim
and Kean gets a yellow card.
It must have been frustration.
Sierhuis to Ter Heide, another substitute.
Ter Heide has room for a shot
but it's blocked.
Eiting gets it
but shoots straight at the keeper.
Time is running out and Ajax seem
certain of a final 16 spot.
Friday the lots will be drawn.
Here's a chance for Dani de Wit.
But his shot goes straight
to goalie Audero.
The match is over.
Ajax U19 beat Juventus U19
in a Youth League play-off game.
They are through to the final 16.
A beautiful goal was scored by Carel
Eiting, star of Aron Winter's team.
