Brighton Celebrates Historic First Win in European Competition Against Ajax

Brighton Secures First Europa League Victory and a Rare Clean Sheet While Purple-Patch Ajax Slips Further into Crisis

Brighton claimed its first-ever win in a European competition with a decisive 2-0 victory over historic football giants Ajax in a Europa League Group B match.
Goals scored by Joao Pedro and Ansu Fati led Brighton toward its victory, which marks a significant point in the club's history given Ajax's deep-rooted standing in European football.
This victory against Ajax comes, undercutting a rough streak for Brighton recorded one win out of the last seven games before this match.
Notwithstanding former glory, Ajax is reportedly facing one of its lowest points in history, reflected by six defeats in the last nine games and a previous lack of wins since August end.
Brighton's victory also marked the team's first clean sheet of the season, while Ajax fell to a one-dimensional defensive performance, marking a drastic change in the club's form.
Despite the notably historic victory, Brighton's coach, Roberto De Zerbi, stayed focused on the upcoming Premier League match against Fulham, reflecting on the need to maintain this newfound winning momentum.
