Ajax Women secured a narrow 1-0 victory over PEC Zwolle in the Eredivisie women's Regular Season on 22 August 2026. The result keeps the hosts unbeaten after two matches while extending Zwolle's winless run. To be fair, it wasn't a game that demanded much of either side's finishing.
The hosts came into the fixture third in the table with two wins from two, accumulating six points. Zwolle sat ninth after two defeats and zero points — a situation where the table says little about what had actually happened on the pitch. By then, Ajax had already shown they could grind out results, having beaten Utrecht 1-0 in their opening outing.
And here's the thing about statistics like these: Ajax registered 93 attacks against Zwolle's 85, with possession split 53 per cent to 47. The hosts managed six shots on target to Zwolle's six, but where it mattered, one goal was all that separated them. Zwolle somehow landed 11 shots off target compared to Ajax's five — a pattern that often spells disaster for the trailing side.
Discipline remained solid throughout, with only one yellow card between the two sides. Ajax's corner count stood at four against Zwolle's eight, suggesting the visitors worked the channels more effectively in dead-ball situations. Neither team saw red cards, which kept the tactical shape intact for both managers.
The victory puts Ajax on a four-match unbeaten run across all competitions, including victories over Rangers and Brøndby in European fixtures. Zwolle, meanwhile, have now lost their last two Eredivisie outings and face mounting pressure ahead of their third match. The goal difference tells its own story: Ajax have scored three and conceded one, while Zwolle have netted five and conceded eight.
