Sparta pulled one back but a pretty good game from Ajax. When you have different goal scorers it tells you that the prayers are gelling together. I wonder if Van Basten is having second thoughts on Kennedy – he played well.

Nice to see Feyenoord actually put some balls in the net. I was beginning to think that they would not have a serious team this year.

KJH got hurt–ankle or foot-and left for Sno, who scored and set up Leonardo with a very nice asisst. MVB has been playing SNO as a backup central srtiker and he has looked quite good. Holds it up well, is so big, fast in a lumbering way, but still lacks an accurate shot. A work in progress but potential up there. Ajax has so many defensive or central midfielders anyway.
