Chelsea midfielder Micha Batshuayi's first-half semi-finalist, Ajax Amsterdam, suffered the first defeat in this season's Champions League. The team of coach Frank Lampard won 1-0 (0-0). Ex-Dortmunder Batshuayi met after a preliminary work by ex-Dortmund Christian Pulisic (86th minute).
The first excitement of the match was followed by Quincy Promes' 35th-minute deficit, with a deflected shot from Hakim Ziyech coming in from close range. However, after the video assistant intervened, referee Ovidiu Haegan scored the goal.
In the second half decided centimeters: first headed Ajaxs Edson Álvarez against the post (58), then Batsuayi also hit the gate limit - but with a happy ending for Chelsea. After a pass from Pulisic, Batshuayi's shot from six yards hit the bottom of the bar and into the goal (86.).
