Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for AFC Ajax to score. At the same time, FC Emmen does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Florian Grillitsch, a Austria , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 10' Jorge Sanchez is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for AFC Ajax tonight.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jeremy Antonisse made 436 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 22' The Mexico Jorge Sanchez breaks the deadlock on 22 minutes. 1-0!
- 23' Poor challenge from Miguel Araujo. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.

- 45' 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.
- 50' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
