According to a report by BBC Sport on Friday November 6, 2026, Ajax delivered a sensational performance against Midtjylland in the UEFA Conference League, recovering from an entertaining first half to secure an emphatic victory away from home.

The visitors started brightly and immediately threatened their opponents, with Tolu Arokodare opening the scoring in the ninth minute through a powerful header following Oscar Gloukh's corner delivery.

Midtjylland responded positively despite conceding early, creating opportunities to trouble Ajax's defence. Their persistence eventually paid off in the 28th minute when Friday Etim finished brilliantly after an impressive individual run.

Ajax continued searching for another advantage before the interval, with Davy Klaassen testing Nordin Bakker and several attacking moves creating problems. However, neither side managed another breakthrough before halftime.

The visitors returned with greater determination and restored their advantage seven minutes after the restart. Tolu Arokodare received Abdellah Ouazane's pass and confidently found the net in the 52nd minute.

Ajax increased their advantage in the 59th minute when Arokodare turned provider, setting up Owen Wijndal, who demonstrated excellent composure inside the penalty area before finishing accurately past Bakker.

The Dutch side continued their attacking dominance, with Davy Klaassen heading home Wijndal's excellent delivery in the 67th minute. Oscar Gloukh subsequently produced a spectacular individual effort, making it five.

Ajax completed their remarkable performance through Marcos Leonardo, who headed home from close range in the 82nd minute. Midtjylland struggled to respond, suffering a disappointing defeat after their encouraging opening half.
