According to Míchel, the game against Fortuna was one that required the qualities of Dolberg, who scored his first goal of the season just five minutes after coming on as a substitute. The Danish striker netted the 1-4 goal from close range, with Ajax eventually winning 5-1 in Limburg. Voetbal International reports that Míchel was pleased with the win, but noted that the game was not an easy one, especially in the first half.

Míchel explained that the team struggled to create chances in the first half and found it difficult to get into Fortuna's penalty area. Ajax will face Willem II in an inhaalwedstrijd on Tuesday, and Míchel is confident that the team can handle the double programme.
