FILE: Tolu Arokodare also scores on Ajax debut
Tolu Arokodare marked his first start for Ajax with a brace as the Dutch giants secured their place in the league phase of the UEFA Conference League with a 5-3 victory over FC Sion on Thursday.
The Amsterdam side completed a 9-5 aggregate victory at the Johan Cruyff ArenA after also winning the first leg 4-2.
Arokodare, who came close to opening his account when he struck the woodwork after the break, eventually got his first goal of the night in first-half stoppage time, firing home from a difficult angle to restore Ajax’s lead.
The 25-year-old Nigerian completed his brace in the 51st minute after a fine move involving Youssef Ouazane and Mika Godts, putting Ajax 4-2 ahead on the night.
