Ajax capitalised on Lyon's defeat to Real Madrid by winning away at Dinamo Zagreb and moving up to second in Group D tonight.
After a tight opening 45 minutes in which both sides spurned chances to take the lead, the Dutch club broke deadlock four minutes after the restart.
Miralem Sulejmani was the architect, weaving his way through the Dinamo defence before picking out Derk Boerrigter to score his first ever goal in the Champions League.
Any chance the home side had of drawing level was ended in stoppage time through young Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen. Ajax broke on the counter-attack, leaving Eriksen one-on-one with Ivan Keleva and the 19-year-old slotted into the net from close range.
