Ajax will have a two-point lead heading into the final round of fixtures in Champions League Group H after Hakim Ziyech and Quincy Promes secured a comfortable victory over Lille.
Ziyech opened the scoring after just 90 seconds in France, with the winger curling a left-footed effort beyond home goalkeeper Mike Maignan and into the bottom corner.
Ziyech turned provider on 59 minutes when his deep cross was poked in by a diving Quincy Promes. The Morocco international was denied a second goal after VAR review but it mattered not as Erik ten Hag's men leapfrogged Valancia and Chelsea at the top.

Basically as long as we win the next one, we basically got qualification in the bag. Ajax need to absolutely beat Valencia and I think they will so we should hopefully go through given we beat Lille. Thank you Ziyech for not only showing yourself to our board to make you a target for transfer but also for helping with our qualification hopefully...

He did not help us to qualify, if them lose against Valencia and Chelsea win Lille that means, Chelsea and Valencia as qualified already, Ajax still have job to do... by winning or draw Against Valencia... while we Chelsea only need win against Lille to qualify... but i hope Chelsea should go for this guy Ziyech to replace William
