AZ Alkmaar lost at home to Ajax Amsterdam in the Dutch Eredivisie.
AZ Alkmaar put up a fine battle against visiting Ajax but ultimately it was in vain, with last season’s champions claiming a 2-3 away win in the Eredivisie.
The hosts were victims of a double salvo from Ajax, who went two goals up in the space of two minutes around halfway through the first period.
Dutch midfielder Siem de Jong scored either side of a Daley Blind goal, and though AZ Alkmaar attempted a valiant second half comeback with goals from Markus Henriksen and Jose Altidore, it was not enough, and they had nothing to show for their efforts at the final whistle.
