Abdellah Ouazane is quickly becoming one of the most exciting young Moroccan footballers to watch. The Ajax youngster produced another moment of brilliance on Sunday, October 25, scoring a superb goal in a 2-1 victory over Sparta Rotterdam in the 10th round of the Eredivisie.

Just days after finding the net against Atalanta in European competition, the 17-year-old was back in the spotlight, delivering another outstanding finish to help Ajax secure three valuable points away from home.

His latest performance underlined his growing influence and offered another glimpse of the potential that has made him one of Morocco’s most promising emerging talents.

Ouazane Produces Another Moment of Magic

Ajax took the lead in the 22nd minute through the Moroccan youngster, who showed impressive technique and composure to score a spectacular goal.

After exchanging a one-two with a teammate, Ouazane unleashed a direct strike into the top-left corner, leaving the opposing goalkeeper with little chance of stopping it.

It was a finish that showcased his confidence, technical quality and ability to make the difference in decisive moments.

Tolu Arokodare doubled Ajax’s advantage in first-half stoppage time, scoring in the 45th+1 minute to give the visitors a valuable cushion.

Sparta Rotterdam managed to pull one back, but Ajax held on to secure a 2-1 victory and continue their push up the league table.

From European Heroics to Eredivisie Brilliance

Sunday’s goal followed another impressive contribution from Ouazane in Ajax’s European victory over Atalanta, when he scored after eliminating several opponents inside the penalty area before firing into the bottom corner.

Scoring two memorable goals in quick succession across different competitions represents an encouraging spell for the young attacker.

At just 17, he is demonstrating the confidence to take on defenders, the technical ability to create shooting opportunities and the composure to finish under pressure.

His performances are attracting increasing attention, with Moroccan supporters eager to see how far his development can take him.

A Strong Message to Morocco’s National Team

Ouazane’s recent form comes at an important moment in his international career. The teenager has reportedly received his first call-up to Morocco’s senior national team, marking a significant milestone in his development.

His latest goal provides another positive talking point for head coach Mohamed Ouahbi, with Morocco preparing for their upcoming double-header against Niger on November 13 and 17 in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.

For a player still in the early stages of his career, the opportunity to train and compete alongside established internationals could represent another important step forward.

However, the priority remains maintaining his development, gaining experience and continuing to deliver performances at club level.

Ajax Close the Gap on Feyenoord

The victory moves Ajax to within three points of league leaders Feyenoord, according to the supplied report, keeping the Dutch title race firmly in focus.

For Ouazane, the immediate challenge is to build on this impressive run and turn his flashes of brilliance into sustained performances throughout the season.

Two spectacular goals in quick succession have given Moroccan football fans plenty of reason for excitement.

At 17, Abdellah Ouazane is already making headlines in the Netherlands. If he continues developing at this pace, the young Moroccan could become an increasingly important name in Ajax’s future, and one to watch for the Atlas Lions.
