Kudus Mohammed grabs assist in Ajax draw with Excelsior

During an Eredivisie clash held at the Van Donge & De Roo Stadium, Mohammed Kudus played a pivotal role in Ajax’s 2-2 draw against Excelsior on a Saturday afternoon.

Kudus was named in the starting lineup and remained on the pitch for the entire 90 minutes, joined by Dutch-born Ghanaian striker Brian Brobbey, who also kicked off the match and completed the full game duration.

Ajax surged ahead in the 25th minute as Brian Brobbey’s right-footed shot from the center of the box nestled into the bottom right corner of the net. The goal was facilitated by an assist from Carlos Forbs.

Although Brian Brobbey’s 41st-minute goal was scored, it was invalidated due to an offside ruling.

Just before the first half’s conclusion, Excelsior restored parity as Siebe Horemans slotted a right-footed shot into the bottom right corner of the net from the center of the box. The goal was confirmed following a VAR review.

Nikolas Agrafiotis extended Excelsior’s lead in the 48th minute, with an assist from Lazaros Lamprou.

Ajax managed to secure a draw when Davy Klaassen scored in the 72nd minute, with Mohammed Kudus playing the role of provider for Klaassen’s goal.

In their upcoming league fixture, Ajax is scheduled to face Fortuna Sittard.
