FutMexNation is here to bring you an update on our favorite extranjeros as some of them had their season come to an end, while for others this was their penultimate game of the season: 

 

Eredivisie
After being crowned league champions on midweek, Edson Alvarez and Ajax would hit the road and head off to Gelderland to take on Vitesse for their final game of the season. Edson would have another fantastic game that included him scoring another goal to help his team get a draw. This now makes it three games in a row in which the Mexican has scored for Ajax. Two of his three goals that he scored were crucial goals allowing Ajax to walk out of those games with at least a draw. With this goal Edson has contributed to a total of six goals for the club this season – five goals and one assist – making it his best season for El Machin in terms of producing offensively. A high number considering the fact that he is a defensive midfielder. Apart from his goal, Edson had 50 precise passes along with an 84% passing accuracy. He would also complete two long passes, had a shot on goal, a shot go off the post, sixteen duels won, two clearances, one blocked shot, and an interception. A tremendously successful season for the Mexican Abroad.
