Dazzling display by Ajax as Dutch side blow 4 past Borrusia Dortmund.
Ajax players Dušan Tadić (L) and Daley Blind (R) celebrate Blind's opener against Borussia Dortmund. 'De Godenzonen' were oozing class as they put 4 past Borrusia Dortmund in the first leg CL tie last night.

The game was off to a firy start and there was no hiding Ajax's quality and pizzaz as it only took them 11 mins to establish their dominance in the game. Marco Reus flicked a Dušan Tadić'Ĺ› free kick into the back of his own net. Not the start the Black and Yellow's skipper was hoping for. 'De Godenzonen doubled the lead in the 25th min thanks to Daley Blind as this marked his first goal all year after he latched onto a Sèbastian Hallèr flick and unleashed a tantalizing strike with the outside of his boot in off the post.

Ajax dominance was still to be seen as they repetitively tested the Dortmunds backline. Erling Haaland had his chance to leave a mark but Remko Pasveer was all hands in deck. The Norwegian tested the Ajax shot stopper once again but this time with an impressive save. 

Anthony being a thorn in Dortmunds flesh all game long finally got his equalizer as he cut inside Emre Can sent a gorgeous effort into the bottom corner.

Daley Blind then turned provider and unleashed a cross that met current UCL top scorer Sèbastian Hallèr who headed it home in the 72nd min of the game to ensure the 'Sons of God' are embroiled in European heaven. 

Ajax have now won 10 out of their 12 matches and have now showcased to their world their resilience and why they should be advocated for scooping the CL trophy.
