The Whites found themselves 1-0 down after just two minutes and there was no way back as the Dutch champions eased to victory through strikes from Davy Klaassen, Perr Schuurs, Ryan Gravenberch and Danilo.
Leeds now have one more friendly which comes against Europa League champions Villarreal on Saturday evening, one week before the Premier League opener against arch rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford.

5 - Also slightly better than in the lunchtime game and produced a nice piece of play to start a move down a packed left touchline but needs to get far more involved when on, either as a no 10 or upfront. Photo by Tony Marshall/Getty Images
6 - A right old baptism of fire in facing the Ajax first team in their own back yard but did pretty well in the circumstances and got forward as much as he could.
