Ajax responded before the break through Kasper Dolberg, whose powerful strike inside the left post brought the Dutch giants level in the 39th minute. Shortly after halftime, Matheus Silva restored Qarabag’s lead with a deflected effort that wrong-footed Vitezslav Jaros.
Ajax continued to push and found another equaliser in the 79th minute when Oscar Gloukh guided a low shot into the bottom right corner after being set up by Lucas Rosa. The breakthrough moment arrived in the 83rd minute, with Konadu playing a pivotal role.
His composed build-up play created the opening for Anton Gaaei, who unleashed a superb effort into the top left corner to give Ajax a 3-2 advantage.
Later in the 90th minute, Oscar Gloukh put the icing on the cake, scoring to seal a 4-2 victory for Ajax.
