Panathinaikos beats Ajax 3-1 in friendly match in the Netherlands

Panathinaikos secured a 3-1 victory over Ajax in a pre‑season friendly played in the Netherlands. The Greeks opened the scoring after 15 minutes when Teté finished a well‑placed cross, and added a second before half‑time when Zaruri converted from a set‑piece. Ajax pulled one back in the second half through Konanou, but Panathinaikos restored a three‑goal lead with a header from Taborda early in the second half. The match, held in Amsterdam and Ermelo, was part of Panathinaikos' summer preparation under coach Jesper Nøstdrup, who highlighted the team's high tempo and pressing. A 17‑year‑old Biniaris also impressed with several chances, and the team returned to Athens after the Netherlands tour.

The friendly served as a test of the new tactical approach and provided valuable minutes for several squad members ahead of the upcoming domestic season.
