By the elimination of Ajax, there is no Dutch club more active in Europe. A round before the curtain fell for all PSV and Feyenoord.
Ajax came at the Arena in the regular time or to a 1-0 lead thanks to a goal from Riechedly Bazoer. In the extension, Yevgen Konoplyanka equalized for the Ukrainians. A header from Mike van der Hoorn spent time just before the power back, but otherwise Ajax did not.
The last time Ajax won the quarter-finals in Europe therefore remains the 2002/2003 season. At the time, the Amsterdam club to the last eight in the Champions League came where AC Milan was too strong

Polletje
After the loss in Kiev Ajax earned more in the Arena. The young team of coach Frank de Boer started brightly and got in the opening phase immediately capabilities. Anwar El Ghazi was after seven minutes with a shot from fifteen yards closest to scoring. Ukrainian goalkeeper Denys Boiko tipped the ball to a corner.
As the race progressed gave Ajax more difficult with Dnieper, which after losing possession as soon as possible with all the men gathered around their own penalty area.
Ricardo Kishna, again taken into favor by De Boer was the best opportunity for rest. He was unlucky that the ball just before his feet through a clump soared. Otherwise, he was probably laid a cross from El Ghazi to crown with one hit.
Dnieper tried the game where possible to slow down, but did occasionally show that it can play football with great politeness. The rapid Konoplianka made continuously for threat. And cut center striker Nikola Kalinic forced Ajax keeper Jasper Cillessen with a beautiful shot into the reaching hands.
Exercises
Because really great opportunities also failed to materialize in the opening stages of the second half was center striker Kolbeinn Sigthórsson soon warm up.
In some stretching exercises Icelander saw the 18-year Riechedly Bazoer well anticipate a failed cross from Sink Counts. The revelation of the second half of the season Ajax surprised Egidio opponent with a strong block and shot hit (1-0).
With fifteen minutes Bazoer was also close to the second goal in Amsterdam. His shot was at the far post but just stopped by Boiko, which remained 1-0 and had to be extended.
In the seventh minute of the extension saw Konoplianka chance to get the ball out of reach for Cillessen in turning the corner (1-1). The best player of the visitors seemed to the opposition of the home team to break so, until Van der Hoorn after 116 minutes, yet exciting. The invader headlined touch after Davy Klaassen had hit the bar.
The home team was hoping for a miracle and pumped the ball a few times the Ukrainian penalty area. Great opportunities but yielded not, causing Ajax over two games just came up short for a spot in the quarter-finals and the Ukrainians cheered.
Van der Hoorn responded place after the final whistle with a push against the partying goalkeeper Boiko, who went theatrically to the ground. The defender Ajax was before the red card
