Ajax were held to a draw by NEC in the Eredivisie on Sunday, extending a run of dropped points in the league, according to NU. The result came as Dusan Tadic returned to the Amsterdam side.
NU reported that Ajax were left frustrated by the outcome, describing the draw as disappointing. De Telegraaf carried a reaction in which someone at the club said the situation made them angry and disappointed, without the outlet naming the speaker in the material available.
NOS reported that NEC equalised from the penalty spot through Chery, cancelling out Ajax's lead. AD.nl, covering the match live, noted that time began to run short for Ajax and that Marcos Leonardo came on as a substitute for the strong-in-the-air Tolu.
The same NOS report said Fortuna Sittard and FC Twente shared the points in their fixture.
The draw continues a pattern of Ajax losing ground in the league, with NU framing it as points dropped once again. Tadic's return was a notable part of the day but did not produce a winning result.
Ajax's next Eredivisie fixture will show whether the side can stop the run of draws and close the gap at the top of the table.
