Thursday’s Europa League action gets underway at 5.55 pm as Ajax welcome Lille to the Johan Cruijff Arena for the return leg of their last-32 tie.
Ajax hold a 2-1 advantage following the first-leg in France last week. All three goals were scored after half-time.
Timothy Weah slotted the ball past Maarten Stekelenburg to put the home team in front in the 72nd minute.
However, Ajax skipper Dusan Tadic converted a spot-kick in the 87th minute to initiate the comeback. The visitors did not have to wait long to complete the turnaround.
Davy Klaassen unlocked Lille’s defence with a pinpoint through ball, with Brian Brobbey poking home from a few yards out.
