Bizarre ending: Weghorst scores late equalizer for FC Twente against Ajax after VAR drama in tense topper

Ajax and FC Twente played out a chaotic 2-2 draw, preventing Ajax from overtaking Feyenoord for the league lead. The match was heavily influenced by VAR decisions, including a late penalty converted by Wout Weghorst that secured a point for the hosts.

Ajax failed to secure the top spot in the Eredivisie after a dramatic 2-2 draw against FC Twente. Ajax took an early lead through Tolu Arokodare and extended it in the second half with a goal from Rayane Bounida. However, FC Twente stayed in the contest when Dies Janse scored an own goal following a corner. The match was defined by intense VAR interventions that frustrated both sides.

In the final minutes, the atmosphere in the Grolsch Veste became volatile after a potential equalizer for Twente was denied by a controversial VAR ruling regarding a Wout Weghorst handball. The drama culminated in stoppage time when the VAR awarded a penalty to the hosts for a shirt pull on Ramiz Zerrouki. Weghorst converted the spot-kick to equalize, ensuring the points were shared. Despite the result, Feyenoord remains at the top of the table as the league season continues.
