Mika Godts, Wout Weghorst and Brian Brobbey have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Ajax’s attack.

Meanwhile, Tobias Lauritsen and Camiel Neghli have been pivotal for Sparta Rotterdam’s attack, with Maurice Steijn steering the side, combining to deliver important goals and assists.
