On this day: Ajax 1-2 Inter Milan, 12 November 2002 - Crespo score two bullet headers
Inter have never won an official match in the Netherlands before arriving at the Amsterdam ArenA on 12 November 2002. Héctor Cúper's side end that wait with a 2-1 win over a talent-stacked Ajax.
Ronald Koeman's Ajax dominate the first half despite missing suspended Cristian Chivu and injured Jari Litmanen and Zlatan Ibrahimović. Mido has a header saved early on, and Rafael van der Vaart turns in the rebound only to be flagged offside.
Van der Vaart tests Inter from distance around the half hour, while Nigel de Jong heads over from a corner. Inter, without the injured Fabio Cannavaro, survive to the break and then score twice in two minutes.
A chipped cross is met with a header in the 50th minute, and the same player heads in a lofted cross in the 52nd minute. The goals take him to eight goals in the campaign, past Sandro Mazzola's seven in the 1963/64 European Cup.
Ajax learn that Rosenborg's draw with Lyon has secured their place in the second group stage before Van der Vaart's shot is deflected in four minutes into stoppage time. Inter finish top of Group D, while Koeman's side lose the match but progress nonetheless.
The phrase "top bins" is all about the top corners of the goal, where the crossbar meets the posts. It describes a goal scored with precision, power, and accuracy right into the top corner - an unstoppable strike! It is synonymous with "finding the corner" or a "perfect" strike - e.g. "They've put that top bins" or "That is top bins!".
