First big match between Ajax and PSV • Amrabat, Tsygankov and Kehrer included

Ajax lost their first major Eredivisie match of the season to PSV with a final score of 1-3. Despite a goal from Tolu Arokodare, goals from Lutsharel Geertruida and Esmir Bajraktarevic secured the win for the visiting Eindhoven side.

Ajax suffered their first defeat of the new Eredivisie season in a match against PSV at the Johan Cruijff Arena. Although Tolu Arokodare managed to equalize for the Amsterdam side, PSV secured a 3-1 victory with goals from Lutsharel Geertruida and Esmir Bajraktarevic. The loss leaves Ajax six points behind league leaders AZ, though the team has a game in hand against Willem II.

Following the match, Ajax coach Míchel Sánchez expressed frustration, suggesting that PSV player Ruben van Bommel should have been sent off for a foul on Aaron Bouwman. New Ajax recruit Sofyan Amrabat made his debut during the match but expressed disappointment with the result. Despite the setback, Ajax is now looking ahead to their upcoming fixture against Fortuna Sittard next Saturday, as they aim to recover from this early season disappointment in front of their home supporters.
