Ajax are currently being held at half time by Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in their Europa League clash.

Ajax are looking to overturn last week's 1-0 defeat at the hands of Dnipro, and Anwar El-Ghazi went close early on, forcing goalkeeper Denys Boyko into a fine save.

Against the run of play, Nikola Kalinic unleashed a strike from the edge of the box, which Jasper Cillessen tipped away for a corner.

Dnipro, who have lost just one of their five Europa League games away this season, continued to frustrate Ajax as they struggled to find a vital opening.

Ajax enjoyed a strong spell of pressure towards the end of the half, with Arkadiusz Milik's header the closest the hosts came to opening the scoring.

The sides headed into half time with Ajax still behind on aggregate.
