- 0' The game is set. FC Emmen kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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 Richairo Zivkovic suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' It’s high time Dick Lukkien made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Emmen needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 20' It looks surprising AFC Ajax does not make any changes. Steven Bergwijn has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 22' Jorge Sanchez puts AFC Ajax on the lead.
- 23' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Miguel Araujo.
- 28' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 32' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Edson Alvarez.
- 37' What a strike from Steven Bergwijn! The score is 2-0.
- 40' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Kenneth Taylor.
- 45' FC Emmen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 45.
- 50' Supporters expect more eagerness from Steven Berghuis, as he is very good at scoring at Johan Cruijff Arena with 16 goals in the last 14 games.
- 55' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 55 minutes.
- 59' GOAL! Jeremy Antonisse scores on 59. Assisted by Ole Romeny
- 61' Brian Brobbey has so much to prove this time. He replaces Steven Bergwijn on 61 minute.
- 66' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Emmen that had 129 games and scored 160 goals.
- 67' The supporters are chanting for Mohamed Bouchouari. He replaces Lorenzo Burnet on 67 minute.
- 72' It is a substitution in AFC Ajax team. Jorrel Hato is replaced by Youri Baas on 72 minute.
- 76' Time for substitution for FC Emmen. Jeremy Antonisse is replaced by Oussama Darfalou.
- 80' GOAL! Dusan Tadic scores on 80. Assisted by Francisco Conceicao
- 84' The supporters are chanting for Jasin Assehnoun. He replaces Keziah Veendorp on 84 minute.
- 85' The FC Emmen manager makes a substitution. Ahmed El Messaoudi departs to be replaced by Jari Vlak.
- 90' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- Another three points for AFC Ajax.
