  • 23' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Justin Lonwijk made 317 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 28' Josip Sutalo has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 8 cards already picked up this season.

  • 73' 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.
  • 76' Alessio Da Cruz is ready to make an impact after coming on for Oguzhan Ozyakup at the 76 minute mark.
  • 80' A change in the AFC Ajax ranks — Tristan Gooijer exits the field as Anton Gaaei enters on 80.
