Ajax took advantage of an utterly feeble display from VVV to to score an astonishing 13 times without reply.
The Amsterdam giants were already four up at half-time and at the beginning of the second period VVV defender Chris Kum was sent off, and from there the match descended into farce.
Lassina Traore racked up five goals and three assists as Ajax went on the rampage, while youngster Jurgen Eggelenkamp also added two strikes plus another assist.
Dusan Tadic also struck while winger Antony also helped himself to a goal and two assists.
And from the bench veteran Klaas-Jan Huntelaar scored twice in two minutes as VVV completely capitulated.
