Ajax lit up by minnows in Dutch Cup final



PEC Zwolle lift first trophy in first final in 37 years




It was over in a little over a half hour when Dutch giants Ajax spectacularly were down 4-1 on its way to a 5-1 defeat.

But the images that will be remembered is former Manchester United netminder Edwin van der Sar pleading with his Amsterdam side's supporters to stop the fireworks as Ajax endured the goalfest. Play had to be delayed, officials debated whether to stop the match and the rest of the stadium's fans were shellshocked at the proceedings on the field.



In the end, it was the minnows that won by a heavy scoreline to lift its first major honor in the club's history. This is what football is all about.
