AMSTERDAM - Ajax has taken a significant step toward securing its 37th national championship following a 3-1 victory over NAC Breda.

Despite an arduous first half, the Ajax team under the management of Francesco Farioli benefited from critical mistakes made by NAC's goalkeeper Roy Kortsmit, which ultimately influenced the outcome of the match.

NAC Breda's coach, Carl Hoefkens, was unable to guide his team to overcome these errors, which allowed Ajax to assert dominance as the current leader in the Eredivisie.

With this win, Ajax has maintained a commanding nine-point lead over second-placed PSV Eindhoven, with only eighteen points remaining in the season to compete for.

The match exhibited Ajax's resilience, especially after struggling for over thirty minutes before finding their rhythm.

The victory not only bolsters Ajax's position in the league but also places them in a favorable position as the season approaches its conclusion.

The team continues to enhance its claim for the championship amidst a competitive season in Dutch football.
