Ajax beat Midtjylland 6-1 in the Liga Conferência on 5 November 2026 after the hosts were reduced to ten men in the first half. Individual scorers were not confirmed against the official 1-6 scoreline.

Match Summary

Midtjylland's first half was defined by discipline as much as by the scoreboard. Kjell-Arik Watjen was shown a yellow card in the 35th minute. He was then shown a red in the 43rd minute, leaving the home side with ten players before the interval had even arrived.

Stoppage time brought another caution. Denil Castillo was booked at 45+2, Midtjylland's second yellow. Ajax were not shown a card at any stage.

When the match ended the score was 1-6. Ajax had six, Midtjylland one. The visitors played more than half the contest against ten men, and the official result was a heavy away win in the Conference League meeting.

Key Moments

Watjen's dismissal changed the shape of the rest of the match. After the yellow in the 35th minute, the red in the 43rd meant Midtjylland had to cover the closing of the first half and the entire second period without him. Ajax kept a full side.

Castillo's yellow at 45+2 closed a costly first half for the hosts. Both yellow cards and the only red of the match sat with Midtjylland, and all three arrived before half-time.

The other decisive fact was the margin itself. A 1-6 score needs little extra explanation. Ajax created the greater volume of chances, which the numbers below make plain, and they scored six while Midtjylland scored one.

Match Statistics

Ajax outshot Midtjylland 14 to 7 and registered 6 shots on target to 3. Expected goals were 3.41 for Ajax and 1.68 for Midtjylland, a gap in chance quality that favoured the visitors without fully matching a six-goal win. Midtjylland still generated those 1.68 expected goals from 7 shots, including 3 on target. Corners finished 8-1 to Ajax. Midtjylland were shown 2 yellow cards and 1 red card. Ajax received none.
