Mixed feelings for Ajax coach after draw at Bayern

Ten Hag disappointed at missing out on three points

Ajax coach Erik ten Hag left Germany with mixed feelings after Tuesday’s unexpected 1-1 draw for his youthful team at Bayern Munich in the Uefa Champions League.

Ajax fell behind early to a Mats Hummels header but then equalised through Moroccan fullback Noussair Mazraoui to move to four points from their two Group E games and with real hopes of advancing to the knockout phase.

Ten Hag, however, was disappointed at his side not being able to become the first Dutch side to win at Bayern after they had the better of the chances.

“On the one hand, I’m really satisfied but on the other, this was a game we could and should have won,” ten Hag, a former reserve team coach at Bayern, told reporters.
