Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Maccabi Tel Aviv FC gets underway.
- 5' Dor Turgeman needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 10' Mika Godts has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 14' AFC Ajax is taking the lead after the goal scored by Bertrand Traore on 14.
- 19' 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 Nemanja Stojic suffering a number of foals already.
- 24' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 26' That looks like a foul for a card for Gavriel Kanichowsky.
- 27' GOAL! Kenneth Taylor scores on 27. Assisted by Brian Brobbey
- 32' Supporters expect more eagerness from Weslley Patati, as he is very good at scoring at Johan Cruijff Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 37' AFC Ajax started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 37.
- 39' GOAL! Mika Godts scores on 39.
- 43' Kenneth Taylor is having his name booked by the referee on 43.
- 46' Another change for AFC Ajax made on 46 minute. Jorrel Hato leaves to be changed by Owen Wijndal.
- 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
- 56' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 61' GOAL! Brian Brobbey scores on 61. Assisted by Kenneth Taylor
- 66' Steven Berghuis has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kenneth Taylor on 66 minute.
- 69' What a strike from Kian Fitz-Jim! The score is 5-0.
- 71' The Maccabi Tel Aviv FC manager makes a substitution. Elad Madmon departs to be replaced by Henry Addo.
- 72' AFC Ajax manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jordan Henderson is hanging Kian Fitz-Jim on the field on 72 minute.
