Ajax broke the deadlock in the 66th minute when D. Noordman found the net. Rangers responded through E. Austin, whose goal in the 88th minute levelled the score and brought the visitors back into the contest.
The decisive moment arrived in stoppage time when S. Spitse converted a penalty in the 90+1 minute to complete the comeback. Austin received a yellow card in the same period after the incident went to review.
