Brighton scripted a historic chapter in their European journey, taking a significant stride toward knockout football with a memorable triumph over Ajax in Amsterdam. Ansu Fati and Simon Adingra etched their names in the victory with well-taken goals on either side of half-time, securing back-to-back wins against the European giants. This achievement, unthinkable for Seagulls fans just a year ago, reflects Brighton’s rapid progress on the continental stage.

Fati, the Barcelona loanee, exhibited his nimble prowess with a clever finish after Adingra’s quick thinking and precision. The Ivorian winger, seizing opportunities in the absence of Solly March, showcased his quality with a fine goal, lifting a composed finish into the far corner. Fati’s departure after a goal and an assist capped off a stellar hour’s work.

Ajax, the only side yet to score against Brighton this season, found their attempts thwarted, with Brian Brobbey coming closest as his strike hit the post but narrowly stayed out. Brighton’s brilliant night, however, was not without concern as injuries forced substitutions, adding a note of caution amid the celebration. This victory, combined with their previous success against Ajax, propels Brighton into a promising position in the Europa League, marking a surreal and joyous night for their devoted fans in Amsterdam.

Here is the highlight video of Ajax vs. Brighton, which ended with a 0-2 victory for Brighton.
