  • 5' AFC Ajax are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 8' The deadlock is broken! Hakim Ziyech gets on the scoresheet on 8 minutes.
  • 13' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.

  • 23' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 23 minutes.
  • 28' Wouter Marinus is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for AFC Ajax so far.
  • 33' Both keepers have barely been tested. AFC Ajax and FC Emmen are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 38' Brilliant from the ! Klaas-Jan Huntelaar makes it 2-0 with a superb finish on 38.
  • 41' That is a Yellow card for FC Emmen. Tim Siekman will be fuming at that decision.
  • 46' The crowd applauds Wouter Marinus as he leaves the pitch. Stef Gronsveld steps in for FC Emmen.

  • 71' Magnificent from Dusan Tadic! That is 110 goals in 491 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 76' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AFC Ajax that had 491 games and scored 846 goals.
  • 78' The whistle greets Hakim Ziyech as he departs to be replaced by Dennis Johnsen.
  • 83' 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.
