Bassey Claims Ajax's Man Of The Match Award In Club's 1500 League Win

By Tunde David

Super Eagles left-back Calvin Bassey was voted Ajax Man of the Match in their historic Eredivisie home win against Nijmegen on Sunday, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Ajax announced Bassey as the most outstanding player on their verified Twitter handle.

The 23-year-old Nigerian international defender who was formerly at Glasgow Rangers has come under lots of criticism from former Ajax stars.

But the former Rangers player put in a five-star performance to help Ajax stay in touch with leaders Feyenoord.

Black Stars forward Mohammed Kudus was the hero for Ajax as he netted the only goal of the game in the 52nd minute.

The win against Nijmegen means Ajax are the first-ever side to record 1500 victories in Dutch Eredivisie history.
