Ajax beat AZ 1-0 in Amsterdam on Saturday to move within a point of Eredivisie leaders Feyenoord, who drew 1-1 with Fortuna Sittard earlier in the day.
Tolu Arokodare scored the only goal in the ninth minute, heading in a cross from Abdellah Ouazane. The hard-fought win also ended Ajax’s run of 11 matches without a victory over their rivals from Alkmaar.
AZ remain fifth after taking just one point from their past four league matches. Ajax midfielder Julian Brandt went off injured shortly before half-time.
