Ajax doubled their advantage before half-time. In the 41st minute, Godts turned scorer, converting after being set up by experienced forward Wout Weghorst. His goal pushed the Amsterdam side into a comfortable 2–0 lead, which they maintained until the final whistle.

NAC Breda responded with a triple substitution on 56 minutes, introducing Pepijn Reulen, André Ayew and Brahim Ghalidi for Raul Paula, Moussa Soumano and Charles-Andréas Brym in a bid to change the momentum. Ajax simultaneously replaced Gloukh with Sean Steur to freshen their attack.

The hosts continued to adjust, later bringing on Lewis Holtby and Juho Talvitie, while Ajax introduced Ko Itakura, Rayane Bounida and Oliver Edvardsen as they managed the game in the second half.

Ajax picked up two yellow cards late on: Ko Itakura was booked in the 78th minute, followed by Wout Weghorst in the 85th minute. No further goals were recorded after the interval, and Ajax saw out a professional away performance.
