It was a very close call in Enschede. Wthin the space of one minute, shortly before the end of FC Twente - Ajax, the visitors secured three crucial points. Goals by Hedwiges Maduro and Urby Emanuelson tipped the scale in favour of the team from Amsterdam.
Ajax showed resilience and grit against FC Twente. Two goals by Blaise N'Kufo had Ajax facing a deficit for almost 88 minutes. The strong striker gave the home side their first lead after 24 minutes when he received the ball, turned and fired it past goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.
Matters got worse when Wesley Sneijder had be taken off after 40 minutes with an injury. Ajax were not sharp in the first half and were careless when playing near the opposing box. Twente had the better chances in the first half.
With the 2-2 by Hedwiges Maduro in the 88th minute, Ajax seemed to escape with a reasonable result. Maduro received the ball from scrimmage before the goal and fired it in the back of the net past goalkeeper Sander Boschker.
