The clash between SBV Excelsior (Women) and AFC Ajax (Women) was notable for its shift in momentum and highlighted the differing tactical approaches of the two teams. Excelsior, despite taking an early lead, struggled to maintain offensive pressure with just one shot on target and few additional attempts. Ajax, demonstrating superior control, registered 11 corner kicks compared to Excelsior's solitary attempt, indicating their sustained offensive thrust and territorial advantage throughout the match.

Ajax's performance was marked by their resilience and adaptability, turning the game around in the second half with three unanswered goals. Their ability to find the back of the net was facilitated by their high number of shots on target and overwhelming time spent in Excelsior’s defensive third, as evidenced by the significant disparity in corner kicks. The away team's tactical discipline, despite one yellow card, allowed them to press high, forcing mistakes and creating scoring opportunities, even if it meant being caught offside more frequently.

Despite being disciplined defensively with no yellow cards and managing the offsides better than their opponents, Excelsior's limited offensive threat resulted in a lopsided possession and shot metrics. The team's early goal was not enough to withstand Ajax's relentless attack, exemplified by Ajax's yellow card not affecting their concentration and offensive execution. The key factor for Ajax's victory lay in maintaining a high tempo and applying continuous pressure which Excelsior struggled to counter, showcasing Ajax’s ability to adapt and overcome initial setbacks.
