Ajax avoided embarrassment in their UEFA Europa Conference League knock-out play-off clash against Bodo<\/strong>\/Glimt, salvaging a 2-2 draw in a dramatic first-leg encounter. The Dutch giants found themselves trailing 2-0 for the majority of the match but staged a remarkable comeback with two goals in stoppage time, thanks to Steven Berghuis’s heroics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite a two-month hiatus from competitive football, Bodo<\/strong>\/Glimt stunned Ajax by taking the lead through Albert Gr\u00f8nb\u00e6k’s well-executed finish. The Norwegian side showcased their quality with a superb team goal, leaving Ajax goalkeeper Diant Ramaj rooted to the spot. The early setback left the home crowd shell-shocked as Bodo<\/strong>\/Glimt continued to impress, with Fredrik Andr\u00e9 Bj\u00f8rkan narrowly missing the target from distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ajax struggled to find their rhythm initially, but gradually grew into the game. Tristan Gooijer came close with a whipped effort from 20 yards, while Kenneth Taylor and Chuba Akpom also tested the opposition goalkeeper with shots from similar distances. However, Ajax survived a scare when a misplaced pass from Ramaj threatened to gift Bodo<\/strong>\/Glimt a second goal before being cleared off the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second half saw Ajax continue to struggle, with Berghuis missing the target with a curling effort. Their task became even more daunting when Gr\u00f8nb\u00e6k capitalized on a fortunate deflection to double Bodo<\/strong>\/Glimt’s lead. The goal appeared to sap the energy from the hosts, whose campaign seemed destined for another disappointing turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Ajax mounted a late resurgence, with Branco van den Boomen converting from the penalty spot after Brian Brobbey was fouled in the area. The momentum swung further in Ajax’s favor when Bodo<\/strong>\/Glimt were reduced to ten men following Odin Bj\u00f8rtuft’s dismissal for the foul. In the dying moments of added time, Berghuis delivered a moment of brilliance, chipping the ball over the goalkeeper to secure a vital equalizer for Ajax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result leaves the tie finely poised ahead of the second leg in Norway, with both teams level on aggregate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
