THE HAGUE, Dec 23, 2009 (AFP) - Dutch giants Ajax whipped amateur outfit WHC Wezep 14-1 in a mismatched Dutch Cup round of 16 tie on Wednesday.

Markoi Pantelic started the rout for former Tottenham boss Martin Jol's trigger-happy team in the 18th minute and Ajax had raced to a 6-1 lead by the break.

Ajax's seventh goal came when the second half was minutes old, with goals 12, 13 and 14 coming in the final five minutes.

The night proved a personal triumph for Ajax' Uruguay winger Luis Suarez who scored no fewer than six of the Amsterdam side's haul.

WHC Wezep, who play in the amateur C league, were unable to exploit home advantage, their ground boasting a 500-seater covered stand.

Launched in 1930 WHC have fallen on hard times compared to their halcyon days back in the 1960s when they were crowned second division champions five times.
