"Ajax were a man down after just 17 minutes when captain Kenneth Taylor lunged into a challenge with Facundo Buonanotte, with the initial yellow card upgraded to red following a pitchside review. And Chelsea made their man advantage count immediately when Marc Guiu tucked Wesley Fofana's header across the box past Remko Pasveer from close range. Moises Caicedo doubled the Blues' advantage nine minutes later when his shot from distance deflected off Josip Sutalo and into the net,"
"The Chelsea defender stepped on the foot of Raul Moro, with Wout Weghorst stepping up to place the ball into the bottom-right corner for Ajax's first goal in the Champions League this season in the 33rd minute. But Weghorst was involved at the other end on the stroke of half-time as he recklessly fouled Enzo Fernandez inside the box, with the Chelsea captain coolly dispatching from 12 yards."
Chelsea recorded a 5-1 Champions League victory over Ajax at Stamford Bridge. Ajax went down to ten men after 17 minutes when Kenneth Taylor's lunge on Facundo Buonanotte saw a yellow upgraded to red following a pitchside review. Marc Guiu opened the scoring from close range, and Moises Caicedo's deflected long-range effort made it 2-0. Ajax pulled one back from a penalty by Wout Weghorst, but Enzo Fernandez converted a spot-kick before half-time and Estevao added another from a stoppage-time penalty. Tyrique George added a fourth early in the second half as Chelsea eased to victory.
