Besiktas had been unbeaten under Giovanni van Bronckhorst until they arrived in Amsterdam but Ajax played them off the park with an energetic display.
Ajax went close a number of times before the lead eventually came after half an hour. Kian Fitz-Jim finished from close range.
Early in the second half, a smart pass from Bertrand Traore set up Mika Godts to make it 2-0. Traore then hit the post before Kenneth Taylor added a third with a low strike into the bottom corner.
Besiktas had no answer to the hosts and Godts was able to net his second to cap a excellent performance.
Ajax’s next clash in the competition is against Slavia Prague.
