Intro:

Dutch champions Ajax drew 0-0 with Dutch Cup holders PEC Zwolle at the Amsterdam ArenA on Sunday.

Script:

The Dutch champions faced the Dutch cup holders at the Amsterdam Arena on Sunday. Ajax, as ever here, were expecting three more points towards their title defence.

But they came into this having not beat PEC Zwolle in three league and cup games this calendar year.

This was the best chance of the first half, which tells you everything you need to know about it.

After the break, Zwolle goalkeeper Warner Hahn dealt with a potentially difficult shot that bounced just before it reached him.

Shortly after Kolbeinn Sigþórsson hit the frame of the goal with this effort...

That was the closest either side came to a winner, although Tomas Necid tried his best to find one for Zwolle.

Both sides came into this level on points so the stakes were high, and the scoring low, it finished 0-0.
