Ajax Amsterdam Narrowly Defeats Feyenoord in the Dutch Premier League

The Johan Cruyff Arena hosted the match between Ajax Amsterdam and their guests Feyenoord Rotterdam in a top fixture of the seventeenth round of the Dutch Premier League for the 2020-2021 season.

Ajax Amsterdam strengthened its lead at the top of the Dutch league table with a valuable victory over Feyenoord Rotterdam, winning by a single goal. The only goal of the match was scored by young player Ryan Gravenberch in the 22nd minute with a powerful left-footed shot from inside the penalty area. Ryan Gravenberch (18 years and 246 days) became the youngest scorer in the Ajax vs. Feyenoord classic since Viktor Fischer in January 2013.

Feyenoord Rotterdam came close to equalizing in stoppage time; however, the crossbar saved the situation for goalkeeper André Onana. With this result, Ajax Amsterdam's points tally rises to 41, maintaining its position at the top of the Dutch league, three points ahead of second-placed Vitesse Arnhem, while Feyenoord Rotterdam sits in fourth place with 35 points.
