Haller had already scored in the first four games of this Champions League campaign and so it wasn&#8217;t a surprise when he showed up to slot home Nico Tagliafico&#8217;s unselfish cross.<\/p>\n<p>That goal saw Haller draw level with Cristiano Ronaldo and Robert Lewandowski having scored in each of the first five games of this group stage, the only surprise was that it took the Ivory Coast international 54 minutes to score.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ajax are the first Dutch team in Champions League history to win the opening five games of a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UCL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UCL<\/a> campaign:<\/p>\n<p>WWWWW<\/p>\n<p>Goals: 16<br \/>Conceded: 3<br \/>Clean sheets: 2<\/p>\n<p>With record-breaking S\u00e9bastien Haller leading the line. ? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VcW8b1sWye\">pic.twitter.com\/VcW8b1sWye<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/1463592642726576138?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 24, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Well he didn&#8217;t have to wait too long for his second goal, when he deflected a Lisandro Martinez pass-shot into the back of the net to double his tally and, in the end, secure the victory for Ajax. Making them the first Dutch side to win their opening five group games.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\n<hr \/>\n<p>Lisandro actually played a huge part in both goals, with his precision 40 yard pass bisecting the Besiktas midfield and defence to make the Dzeko goal possible. But the star of show was undoubtedly Haller, the big striker has now scored 19 goals in 19 games so far this season, which is impressive enough. Then you consider that 9 of those goals have come in 5 Champions League games.<\/p>\n<p>And then you realise that those are Haller&#8217;s first five Champions League games. Meaning that Haller has now beaten Erling Haaland&#8217;s record of scoring at the start of your UCL career. He is now the first player in history to score 9+ goals in the first five games of his Champions League career. A truly remarkable achievement that sets Haller apart from his peers.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">S\u00e9bastien Haller is the first player in Champions League history to score 9+ goals in the first five games of his <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UCL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UCL<\/a> career.<\/p>\n<p>He&#39;s broken Erling Haaland&#39;s record. ? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dmieQjTE1L\">pic.twitter.com\/dmieQjTE1L<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/1463586705752080394?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 24, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1143742\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/football-supports-black-lives-matter-movement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1143742\" class=\"wp-image-1143742 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/06\/02123223\/1143703_1143703_black-lives-matter-gestures.png\" alt=\"Black Lives Matter in football\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/06\/02123223\/1143703_1143703_black-lives-matter-gestures.png 1920w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/06\/02123223\/1143703_1143703_black-lives-matter-gestures-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/06\/02123223\/1143703_1143703_black-lives-matter-gestures-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/06\/02123223\/1143703_1143703_black-lives-matter-gestures-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/06\/02123223\/1143703_1143703_black-lives-matter-gestures-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/06\/02123223\/1143703_1143703_black-lives-matter-gestures-66x37.png 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/06\/02123223\/1143703_1143703_black-lives-matter-gestures-620x350.png 620w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/06\/02123223\/1143703_1143703_black-lives-matter-gestures-940x530.png 940w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/06\/02123223\/1143703_1143703_black-lives-matter-gestures-1200x675.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1143742\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Black Lives Matter:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/football-supports-black-lives-matter-movement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read more about the cause footballers are taking the knee for<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sebastian Haller made Champions League history as Ajax came from behind to beat Besiktas 1-2 in Istanbul.
