Events
Match Events
- 0' The ball is rolling at Johan Cruijff Arena. AFC Ajax are looking to make home advantage count against FC Volendam.
- 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 10' It is a cagey affair so far. AFC Ajax in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past FC Volendam's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 15' AFC Ajax currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 20' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Milan de Haan, as he is very good at scoring at Johan Cruijff Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 30' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 35' Jorrel Hato needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 20 Yellow cards this season.
- 40' 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.
- 45' FC Volendam come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 50' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 50 minutes.
- 55' 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 Ar'jany Martha suffering a number of foals already.
- 57' Steven Bergwijn has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 57 minutes.
- 62' The 25-year-old Diant Ramaj has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 63' Another substitution for FC Volendam to replace Deron Payne by Achraf Douiri on 63 minute.
- 65' The whistle greets Ar'jany Martha as he departs to be replaced by Anass Salah-Eddine.
- 70' AFC Ajax seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 75' Mio Backhaus is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for AFC Ajax tonight.
- 79' Garang Kuol is replacing Robert Muhren for the FC Volendam side.
- 84' Bram van Driel has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 85' The crowd applauds Kristian Hlynsson as he leaves the pitch. Mika Godts steps in for AFC Ajax.
- 85' The referee calls foul for Calvin Twigt. He receives a Yellow card.
- 89' GOAL! Chuba Akpom fires home to make it 2-0!
- 90' The crowd applauds Calvin Twigt as he leaves the pitch. Bram van Driel steps in for FC Volendam.
- 2-0 the final result. FC Volendam will be bitterly disappointed.
