Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Johan Cruyff ArenA. Ninety minutes of football awaits between AFC Ajax and Feyenoord Rotterdam.
  • 5' AFC Ajax are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Feyenoord Rotterdam backline.
  • 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 15' It looks surprising Feyenoord Rotterdam does not make any changes. Ridgeciano Haps has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 22' A stunning finish from Ryan Gravenberch — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 27' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 32' Zakaria Labyad has been relatively quiet despite scoring 12 goals in his last 480 appearances.
  • 37' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Dick Advocaat will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 42' Feyenoord Rotterdam are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 46' Another change for AFC Ajax made on 46 minute. Ryan Gravenberch leaves to be changed by Jurgen Ekkelenkamp.
  • 51' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.

  • 61' Feyenoord Rotterdam started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 61.
  • 63' Time for substitution for Feyenoord Rotterdam. Ridgeciano Haps is replaced by Luis Sinisterra.
  • 66' A tactical swap from AFC AjaxZakaria Labyad on, Antony off on 66 minutes.
  • 71' Feyenoord Rotterdam fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 73' Quincy Promes makes way for Edson Alvarez at the 73 minute mark. A tactical switch from AFC Ajax.

  • 83' A change in the AFC Ajax ranks — Sebastien Haller exits the field as Brian Brobbey enters on 83.
  • 84' Lucas Pratto is replacing Mark Diemers for the Feyenoord Rotterdam side.
  • 89' 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 Nick Marsman suffering a number of foals already.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for AFC Ajax players.
