Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. AS Roma kicks off things out of here…
- 5' It looks surprising AFC Ajax does not make any changes. Lorenzo Pellegrini has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. AS Roma is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 20' AS Roma started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
- 25' AS Roma is showing some good football. However, AS Roma are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 29' The supporters are chanting for Riccardo Calafiori. He replaces Leonardo Spinazzola on 29 minute.
- 34' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 39' What a strike from Davy Klaassen! The score is 1-0.
- 44' AS Roma seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 49' Supporters expect more eagerness from Gianluca Mancini, as he is very good at scoring at Johan Cruyff ArenA with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

- 76' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
