Ajax pair Noussair Mazraoui and Hakim Ziyech were both fasting during their Champions League clash with Tottenham Hotspur.
Both were observing Ramadan and could not eat before sunset. That occurred in the 22nd minute of the game.
The duo both then took on fuel at the first opportunity, with Mazroui spotted guzzling down energy gel which had been handed to him from the touchline.
It appeared to do the trick for Ziyech, who went on to double his side’s lead in the 35th minute.

Ajax ultimately fell short however, with Lucas Moura’s last-gasp goal sending Tottenham through to the final.
