Ajax and Heerenveen Draw 0-0 in Rain-Soaked Match

🇳🇱 18 May 2026
Ajax visited SC Heerenveen on Sunday and the game finished without goals, a 0-0 stalemate. The result leaves both the Amsterdam side and the Frisians still in contention for play‑off qualification. The match took place at the Abe Lenstra Stadion, where heavy rain turned the pitch into a waterlogged surface. Players repeatedly slipped and the field itself became the biggest obstacle for both teams. With a single point each, Ajax remain within reach of the play‑off places, needing a positive result in the remaining fixtures. Heerenveen also stay alive in the race, hoping to capitalize on their home advantage in upcoming games. Both sides created a few clear chances but were unable to convert, as the soggy turf hampered movement and finishing. Goalkeepers Andre Onana and Joël Drommel were called upon to keep the scores level. The deteriorating conditions forced coaches to adjust tactics, opting for a more cautious approach to avoid mistakes on the slick surface. The match highlighted how weather can influence the outcome as much as the teams themselves. Looking ahead, Ajax and Heerenveen will aim to secure the points needed to reach the play‑offs, with the next round of fixtures expected to be decisive for their European ambitions.
