VILLARREAL, Spain, Jan ‌20 (Reuters) - Substitute Oliver Edvardsen scored ‌in the last minute to give Ajax ‌Amsterdam a dramatic 2-1 away victory over Villarreal that keeps alive their hopes of progress in ‍the Champions League.

Edvardsen buried ‍a cutback cross from ‌flying fullback Anton Gaael in the 90th ‍minute ​to see the Dutch giants, who had lost their first ⁠five group games, come from behind to ‌win a second successive tie which means they ⁠still have ‍a chance of finishing in the top 24 with a home game to ‍come against Olympiacos of Greece ‌next week.
