Ajax struggled for the full 90 minutes against Dynamo Kiev, but did enough to record a crucial 2-1 home win. Goals from Luis Suarez and Mounir el Hamdaoui were enough for the Amsterdam side to make it to the group stage of the Champions League for the first time since 2005. Andriy Shevchenko pegged one back for Kiev, but it was not enough for the Ukrainians.
