Ajax secured a 4-0 victory against Telstar in a match where they broke the deadlock through a Davy Klaassen goal from a corner kick delivered by Steven Berghuis. Berghuis later doubled the lead, while Tolu Arokodare capitalized on a mistake by goalkeeper Ronald Koeman junior to extend the score. Marcos Leonardo eventually finalized the result by tapping in a rebound, confirming a comfortable win for the Amsterdam club.

The team lineup saw notable absences, including new signings Viktor Tsygankov and Sofyan Amrabat, who were not yet available for selection. Defensive player Youri Baas was moved to the bench amid ongoing transfer interest from clubs such as FC Porto, though he did make a substitute appearance in the second half. Additionally, Youri Regeer was excluded from the squad due to illness and is currently linked with a potential loan move to Werder Bremen.
