Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Johan Cruijff Arena. Ninety minutes of football awaits between AFC Ajax and Beşiktaş JK.
- 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. AFC Ajax and Beşiktaş JK are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 15' 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 Gedson Fernandes suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rafa Silva made 479 appearances and scored 92 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 21' The referee has no hesitation. Kian Fitz-Jim is booked for AFC Ajax — card on 21.
- 26' It looks surprising AFC Ajax does not make any changes. Ohis Uduokhai has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 31' Goal! Kian Fitz-Jim scores his 6 goal in 490 matches.
- 36' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 41' Jonas Svensson is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Beşiktaş JK so far.
- 45' The referee calls foul for Mustafa Erhan Hekimoglu. He receives a card.
- 46' A moment of madness from Jorrel Hato on 46 minutes earns him a card. AFC Ajax will be frustrated.
- 46' A tactical swap from Besiktas JK — Ciro Immobile on, Mustafa Erhan Hekimoglu off on 46 minutes.
- 51' Mika Godts adds to his 1 season tally! AFC Ajax lead 2-0 — and this changes everything.
- 53' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Jean Onana.
- 55' A goal from the Netherlands international Kenneth Taylor! He fires home on 55 to make it 3-0!
- 60' The energy levels are beginning to show. Giovanni van Bronckhorst might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 64' Another change for Besiktas JK made on 64 minute. Jean Onana leaves to be changed by Cher Ndour.
- 66' Branco van den Boomen is replacing Kenneth Taylor for the AFC Ajax side.
- 70' Bertrand Traore makes way for Christian Rasmussen at the 70 minute mark. A tactical switch from AFC Ajax.

- 78' Mert Gunok has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.

- 84' Can Keles has so much to prove this time. He replaces Milot Rashica on 84 minute.
- 89' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for AFC Ajax and Beşiktaş JK (для сухой ничьи).
