Nicolas Tagliafico scored two second-half goals as Ajax marked their return to the Champions League group stages with a 3-0 victory over AEK Athens on Wednesday.
Tagliafico scored in the 46th and 90th minutes, and Donny van de Beek scored in the 77th, for Ajax, who claimed victory in their opening group-stage match for the first time since 2002.
Ajax had more of the ball in the opening period, though neither side created many clear-cut chances.
Andre Simoes headed wide for AEK from a corner with the best opportunity, but Ajax were much improved after the break.
