0' KICK OFF: Almere City FC gets underway.
5' AFC Ajax are deployed in a 4-3-3 today, looking to exploit space against Almere City FC's 5-3-2 shape.
10' Hamdi Akujobi picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
19' Jose Pascual Alba Seva gets the nod from Almere City FC. He replaces Yoann Cathline and will look to change the dynamic.
24' Jorrel Hato has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 483 appearances.
26' That is a card for AFC Ajax. Sivert Mannsverk will be fuming at that decision.
29' GOAL! Steven Bergwijn scores on 29. Assisted by Brian Brobbey
34' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Steven Bergwijn makes it 2-0.
38' Magnificent from Steven Bergwijn! That is 61 goals in 440 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
43' Almere City FC is showing some good football. However, Almere City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
45' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Ahmetcan Kaplan.
46' The whistle greets Sivert Mannsverk as he departs to be replaced by Steven Berghuis.
51' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both AFC Ajax and Almere City FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
52' Damian van Bruggen is having his name booked by the referee on 52.
56' Another substitution for Almere City FC to replace Theo Barbet by Loic Mbe Soh on 56 minute.
61' AFC Ajax are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
62' Jorrel Hato was booked on 62.
67' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Pena made 69 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
70' The supporters are chanting for Benjamin Tahirovic. He replaces Chuba Akpom on 70 minute.
75' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
76' A tactical swap from Almere City FC — Faiz Mattoir on, Thomas Robinet off on 76 minutes.
77' Steven Bergwijn makes way for Mika Godts at the 77 minute mark. A tactical switch from AFC Ajax.
79' It is a substitution in AFC Ajax team. Jordan Henderson is replaced by Branco van den Boomen on 79 minute.
84' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
89' Almere City FC have won 62 goals from 69 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 3-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
