Ajax booked the biggest win ever in the Eredivisie on a visit to VVV-Venlo on Saturday. The team from Amsterdam won 0-13 in De Koel and wrote history. The biggest victory ever in the Eredivisie since May 19, 1972 was Ajax’s 12-1 victory over Vitesse and that record has now been improved. It is the seventh time in Eredivisie history that a club wins with a margin of at least ten goals. The monster victory of Erik ten Hag’s team also did not go unnoticed abroad.

In Italy, Atalanta is already warned against Ajax, which is the opponent of Gian Piero Gasperini’s team in the Champions League on Tuesday. “Beware Atalanta! Ajax does not hold back “, emphasizes La Gazzetta dello Sport. The newspaper also praises Lassina Traoré, the first Ajax player since December 1985 to score five times in an Eredivisie match, and warns Atalanta against ‘the baby from Burkina Faso’. “Atalanta can watch out for the Amsterdam football machine.”

The Sun is impressed with the historic hammering in Venlo. Incidentally, the 0-13 against VVV is not Ajax’s biggest win ever in an official game. In 1984, the Amsterdam club already won 14-0 in the UEFA Cup, the predecessor of the Europa League, against the Luxembourg Red Boys Differdange. The Daily Mail praise ‘the sensational 13-0 thrashing‘from Ajax:’They made VVV-Venlo look like a pub team‘.

‘Goleada the record Guinness‘, writes Marca, a win for the Guinness Book Of Records. “The result is all the more remarkable because Ajax made some changes with a view to the Champions League. Erik ten Hag presented Sean Klaiber, Antony, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp and Bertrand Traoré with Atalanta. Strangely enough, he eventually won the biggest victory in the history of the Eredivisie. ”

BILD writes: “VVV loses 0-13 (!) to reigning champion Ajax. HOME! The first half was already a debacle for VVV (0-4), but in a different dimension. After Christian Kum’s red card it went very fast. ” Kicker points out that Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, former striker of Schalke 04, scored twice as a substitute at historical Ajax-Schützenfest against ‘the incredibly passive defensive VVV’.

“Ajax pulverizes VVV with 0-13”, writes BBC Sports. And with Sky Sports can be read: “The giants of Ajax are beating VVV.” The newspapaer headlines: “Historical beating: Ajax crushes VVV-Venlo with 0-13!” Halfway through Ajax already led 0-4 and after a red card for Kum in the 51st minute the score increased very quickly. Besides the five goals Traoré scored Jurgen Ekkelenkamp and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar each twice. The other goals came from Dusan Tadic , Antony, Daley Blind and Lisandro Martínez.
