I think almost nobody expected Ajax not to qualify for the CL, especially after the 1-2 victory in Denmark two weeks ago. Last night's 1st half was fantastic, 5 big chances for Ajax, Gabri was playing excellent!
Kobenhavn played 4-5-1, which is pretty defensible (?) for a team that has to score at least twice, but it worked. During the 2nd half, they changed their system into 4-4-2 and brought Berglund into the field, who was causing trouble for Stam/Vermaelen. Solbakken (Kobenhavn coach) ran to the fans after the last whistle and seemed even more enthusiastic than his players.
Spartak Moscow, Shakhtar, Levski Sofia, CSKA Moscow, Dinamo Kiev. When we're really getting into the group phase (mid-November), I'm sure these teams will gain some points when they play the big ones.
