The players go in for the break, with several of Ajax’s number looking absolutely furious. They scored and celebrated what seemed to be a perfectly legitimate goal, only to have it ruled out after what seemed like an eternity after the referee had interacted with his video assistant refereeing team and then forensically studied the goal on his own pitchside monitor. The Ajax players and the fans who have come to see them have no idea why the goal was ruled out. It was either an offside (we’re talking millimetres here, which flies in the face of the spirit of the law) or interference. Whichever it was, Courtois will be relieved to be off the hook.
45+1 min: Ajax win a free-kick for a Carvajal foul on Tagliafico between penalty area and touchline. Lasse Schone ties his luck with an ambitious shot, but Courtois saves easily.
