Ajax, in which Coach Erik Ten Hag surprised with the non-consideration of Sturmtank Haller, was very difficult, but then went after 23 minutes in the lead: Gravenberch dynamically picked up left forward and finally enforced to double pass with clasters from 16 Meters worth seeing flat into the corner to the 1: 0.

Ajax was demanded, now had to hunt a residue to turn the first pokal defeat against PSV at all. The Dutch Table Guide, who had decided both duels against Eindhoven in the league, but continued with a lack of graduation: Tadic made only the right post (59th) from acute angle, while Mvogo brought Bärenstark against Berghuis (74.).

The will was Ajax, where Haller came for the last 20 minutes, not to be credited, only the Amsterdam retired again and again. The PSV swung himself sent, but did not play their quite existing counter chances and missed the preliminary decision - Bruma grooved (79.), craft hit the latte (87th).
