..all managed to score on their debut for Ajax.
18-year-old prodigy Kasper Dolberg equalized for the home team when Ajax only managed to get a 1-1 draw out of their first encounter in the ChL qualifier against PAOK.
I have only seen him in action a couple of times before at youth level so it's not like I'm in a position to make too many bold, rosy predictions about him yet, but he looked really dangerous throughout last night and apart from the well-taken goal he constantly made himself available and got in to a lot of great positions while showing great control, intelligence on the ball and skill. There was something about him, and that 'something' has been commented upon in the past by his recent manager in Frank de Boer:
The debut goal from last night:
It's very early days and we shouldn't be in for him just yet, that wouldn't make any sense, but I'll keep track of him and keep you posted. He might be one for the future.

- He's made a really great first impression for one who's on a training camp for the first time. He's not one that constantly catches the eye but everything he does he does well. More or less all of his balls gets through and he makes everything look rather easy. He acts like he was 28 not 18, he told Voetball International.
- He's pretty big, he's pretty strong and he's got an amazing shot, he said on a different occasion.
