Nedved makes the difference
AFP, Amsterdam
A superb goal by the Czech Republic's European footballer of the year Pavel Nedved gave Juventus a 1-0 victory over Dutch side Ajax in their Champions League Group C match here on Wednesday. Juve's victory was only their second in nine trips to the Netherlands - their last a 2-1 victory over the same opposition in the 1997 Champions League semi-final - and gave coach Fabio Capello some measure of revenge as his then AC Milan side had lost to the Dutch in the 1995 Champions League final. Nedved re-energised a match that had gone dead after a lively opening 10 minutes when he fired in a fierce shot in the 42nd minute that whistled into the top corner of the Ajax net after great work by Alessandro del Piero and Mauro Camoranesi.
