Ajax 1-1 Juventus: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Neres Equaliser Earns Hosts Deserved Draw

Cristiano Ronaldo's 125th Champions League goal wasn't enough for Juventus as they had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Ajax in the first-leg of their quarter-final.

Despite having the better of the first half, with their energy and endeavour causing Juve a number of problems, the Dutch side went into half-time trailing thanks to Ronaldo's diving header on the stroke of half-time.

Escaping his marker, Ronaldo's header then had enough power to beat Andre Onana and give the Italians a crucial away goal.

Ajax, however, wasted little time to find a way back into the game, as David Neres equalised for the hosts inside the opening minute of the second period.
