Ajax Amsterdam were in a good position before their home match against Panathinaikos: a win or a draw would be enough to qualify for the Europa League playoffs. Ajax held a goalless draw until the 89th minute, when Tete scored for the Greeks and forced extra time. In the next round, Ajax will now face the Polish club Jagiellonia Bialystok.
