Dutch Eredivisie: Ajax Break 48 Years Record With Massive Win Against VVV-Venlo

Ajax has set a new record for the biggest win in the Dutch Eredivisie history after a massive 13-0 away victory over VVV-Venlo during which Lassina Traore scored five goals - the victory is the biggest recorded in the league that was previously set by the club against Vitesse (12-1) in 1972

Though VVV-Venlo played one-man down for most of the second half, they had trailed the Dutch giants by four goals, two of which was contributed by Traore before Christian Kum was red-carded ten minutes after the halftime break.  

Traore also assisted in three goals amongst which was  Jurgen Ekkelemkamp's opening goal in the 12th minute. Jurgen and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar contributed two goals each to the scoring streak. 

The Burkina Faso-born player, 19, extended his goal tally by three after the break and completed two more assists during the stretch en route to the sides' victory. 

Amongst players that scored during the match was Dusan Tadic (44th min), Anthony dos Santos (55th min), Blind (59th min), and Lisandro Martinez (78th min).

The teenager goal tally is the most goals recorded for a player in a top-flight match in the league match after Donyell Malen (2019) and Marco van Basten (1985) both of who scored five goals in a single match
