Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between ADO Den Haag and AZ is underway.
- 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Arne Slot might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 15' The home supporters are growing impatient. ADO Den Haag must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 20' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Luuk Koopmans suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. ADO Den Haag is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' ADO Den Haag is showing some good football. However, ADO Den Haag are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 33' A goal from the Iceland international Albert Gudmundsson! He fires home on 33 to make it 0-1!
- 38' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.

- 46' ADO Den Haag ring the changes. Amar Catic has done his job and it is now time for Vicente Besuijen to step up.
- 47' Kees De Boer was booked on 47.
- 52' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AZ that had 308 games and scored 584 goals.
- 57' The 34-year-old Bruno Martins Indi has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 59' Another change for ADO Den Haag made on 59 minute. Kees De Boer leaves to be changed by Ilay Elmkies.

- 82' A change in the AZ ranks — Albert Gudmundsson exits the field as Ramon Leeuwin enters on 82.
- 87' The deadlock is broken! Michiel Kramer gets on the scoresheet on 87 minutes.
