The ball, which was kicked from just outside AZ's penalty area, seemed to gain extra speed due to the wind, leaving Liefting with no chance of making a save. The goal was a turning point in the match, but it ultimately had little impact on the outcome, as Ajax were already 4-0 up at the time.

AZ did manage to pull one back through Stoop, but Ajax sealed the win with a fifth goal from Nadine Noordam. The result sees Ajax currently second in the Eurojackpot Vrouwen Eredivisie, level on points with AZ, but with a worse goal difference, which puts AZ third in the table.
