Arokodare Nets Again as Ajax Fall 2-1 to PSV

Tolu Arokodare strengthened his case for a return to Nigeria’s Super Eagles by scoring his fifth goal of the season for Ajax, although the Dutch club lost 2-1 at home to PSV.

Quick facts

  • Arokodare’s fifth Ajax goal of the campaign
  • Scored in the 23rd minute against PSV
  • Fourth consecutive match in which he has found the net
  • Received a 7.4 rating from Sofascore
  • On loan at Ajax from Wolves

The towering striker last represented Nigeria in November 2025, featuring in the 2026 World Cup play-off against DR Congo. He was subsequently omitted from the squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

Currently playing for Ajax on a temporary move from English side Wolves, Arokodare restored parity in the 23rd minute with a calm finish. The goal extended his scoring run to four successive matches for the Amsterdam club.

Sofascore gave the Nigerian a match rating of 7.4.

Despite Arokodare’s contribution, Ajax could not avoid defeat as PSV claimed a 2-1 victory in the high-profile home fixture.
