Mohammed Kudus started for the Dutch champions and lasted the entire first half of the game before he was replaced at the break.
It is the first of four friendlies lined up by the Dutch giants who are preparing to defend the title they won last season, the 20-year-old's first major trophy in Europe.
Ajax will next play German side, FC Paderborn before matches against Anderlecht and Bayern Munich.
The 34 times champions will return to training on Wednesday morning as they continue their two weeks stay in De Lutte.
Mohammed Kudus enjoyed a decent first season in Holland, winning the League and Cup double.
Although he had issues with injuries, he was voted the best U-21 player in the Dutch topflight league last season.
The Nima-born player joined Ajax last summer in a mouthwatering deal, and repaid the club with outstanding performances which saw him win three King of the Match awards in 17 games.
Kudus scored four goals, providing three assists in the Eredivisie last season.
