AMSTERDAM, May 5 (SW) - Ajax Amsterdam easily advanced to the final of the Dutch play-offs for a Champions League spot.
The runners-up of the regular season had already beaten opponents SC Heerenveen 2-1 in the away match. In Amsterdam, a 3-1 result confirmed the difference in strength.
Kenneth Perez scored twice, of which once from the penalty spot, and the other goal came from fellow Dane Dennis Rommedahl. Pranjic scored Heerenveen's only goal.
The visiting side played the entire second half with a player less after a double yellow card for Bradley in the 39th minute.
In the final of the Champions League play-offs, Ajax face FC Twente who defeated NAC in the semi's.

I hope Ajax can make it through to the group stage of the UCL for once, because they are a famous team that deserves it.psv_fan May 6th, 2008 11:16
I hope they will qualify for the CL qualification stage as well. Past 2 years they got knocked out in this phase, but now is the time to join the group stage again.ajax72 May 6th, 2008 23:52
With the players they have ATM, bar Heitinga, I don't think they have chances. They have to revive their youth academy first thing 'cos that's been their base of success in the past. Second thing is to stop selling their most talented players if they were to return to their former CL glory. I'm sure they will.
