  • 5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 10' FC Volendam is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 15' AFC Ajax are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Volendam needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 25' AFC Ajax currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 35' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 40' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 45' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Volendam is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 50' The energy levels are beginning to show. Maurice Steijn might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Steven Berghuis made 326 appearances and scored 86 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 57' GOAL! Steven Bergwijn fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 62' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 62 minutes.
  • 63' Achraf Douiri gets the nod from FC Volendam. He replaces Deron Payne and will look to change the dynamic.

  • 70' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 75' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Matthias Kohler will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 79' Robert Muhren makes way for Garang Kuol at the 79 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Volendam.
  • 84' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Volendam that had 102 games and scored 91 goals.
  • 85' It is a substitution in AFC Ajax team. Kristian Hlynsson is replaced by Mika Godts on 85 minute.
  • 85' It’s a booking for FC Volendam player. Calvin Twigt gets a Yellow card.
  • 89' GOAL! Chuba Akpom scores on 89.
  • 90' Bram van Driel is ready to make an impact after coming on for Calvin Twigt at the 90 minute mark.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
