Steven Berghuis admitted Ajax were outplayed by Bodo\/Glimt despite salvaging a dramatic 2-2 draw in their Europa Conference League play-off first leg.<\/p>\n
The Norwegian visitors scored either side of half-time at the Johan Cruyff Arena and looked comfortable for the majority of the game before Odin Bjortuft conceded a penalty and was sent off in injury time.<\/p>\n
Branco van den Boomen converted from the spot and the hosts took advantage of the extra man as Berghuis netted in the dying seconds to restore parity heading into next week\u2019s return.<\/p>\n
The Dutch international said: \u201cWe have to do things much, much better.<\/p>\n
\u201cCompliments to them but we have to look at ourselves and how we played.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were outnumbered in midfield again and we ended up chasing large spaces. We were then out of position when we got the ball and could not attack properly.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey really outplayed us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Berghuis was clear that only a large amount of fortune allowed the Dutch giants back into the tie.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cThe red card, the penalty and then seven minutes of added time gave us a chance.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe crowd got behind us and we put everything into attack. At the last moment we scored and we go to Norway in a reasonable position.<\/p>\n
It was not a happy night for Ajax\u2019s leading goalscorer Brian Brobbey, who has netted 17 times this season but was largely frustrated by Bodo\/Glimt\u2019s dominance.<\/p>\n
And he also accepted his team must improve in the second leg.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cIt was a very difficult match.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t cope well under their pressure and they have a very good team. We have to keep our wits about us when we play them again.\u201d<\/p>\n
The return fixture will take place in Bodo next Thursday.<\/p>\n
