Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between AFC Ajax and AZ is underway.
  • 4' A goal from the Netherlands international Myron Boadu! He fires home on 4 to make it 0-1!
  • 9' AZ are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 14' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 19' AFC Ajax 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.
  • 24' The 25-year-old Sergino Dest has been sensational this season — 2 goals and 2 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 29' A quiet spell here at Johan Cruyff ArenA. AZ seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 34' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Arne Slot will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 39' 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.
  • 44' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 49' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His AFC Ajax side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 54' AZ come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 59' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AZ needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 64' Marco Bizot has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 67' Owen Wijndal is having his name booked by the referee on 67.
  • 72' 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 Jordy Clasie suffering a number of foals already.
  • 74' What composure from Oussama Idrissi! The Morocco international strokes it home. 0-2.
  • 79' A moment of madness from Ramon Leeuwin on 79 minutes earns him a Yellow card. AZ will be frustrated.
  • 81' Another substitution for AFC Ajax to replace Hakim Ziyech by Klaas-Jan Huntelaar on 81 minute.
  • 82' Thomas Ouwejan is ready to make an impact after coming on for Oussama Idrissi at the 82 minute mark.
  • 87' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 90' It is a substitution in AZ team. Myron Boadu is replaced by Ferdy Druijf on 90 minute.
  • With this win, AZ is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
