Ajax concluded their preparation for the new season with a 2-2 draw on Sunday. Bertrand Traoré prevented a defeat against AS Monaco with a goal in the final phase. Substitute Brian Brobbey dropped out with an injury.
Ajax took the lead after half an hour through Kenneth Taylor, who shot in after a quick combination with Davy Klaassen. Not much later, former RKC Waalwijk striker Mika Biereth provided the equalizer. In the second half, Takumi Minamino made it 1-2.
Substitute Mika Godts unintentionally played a major role in AS Monaco’s second goal. The attacker wanted to get past Jordan Teze around his own sixteen-meter area, but the former PSV player did not let himself be fooled. Teze then quickly crossed to Minamino, who slid the ball in.
Ajax seemed to be heading for a defeat in the last test before the start of the Eredivisie season after Minamino’s goal, until Traoré was put in position by Godts in the final phase. The attacker shot controlled: 2-2.
