Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and AFC Ajax launch into their encounter with PSV.
- 5' PSV are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 6' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Daniel Schwaab.
- 11' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 16' 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 Nicolas Tagliafico suffering a number of foals already.
- 21' Cody Gakpo has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 6 goals to his name this season.
- 26' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both AFC Ajax and PSV are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 31' It is a substitution in AFC Ajax team. Joel Veltman is replaced by Perr Schuurs on 31 minute.
- 35' Quincy Promes doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 40' PSV fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 45' Quincy Promes makes way for Lassina Franck Traore at the 45 minute mark. A tactical switch from AFC Ajax.
- 47' A moment of madness from Dusan Tadic on 47 minutes earns him a Yellow card. AFC Ajax will be frustrated.
- 52' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 57' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 61' The PSV manager makes a substitution. Sam Lammers departs to be replaced by Kostas Mitroglou.
- 64' Noussair Mazraoui is replacing Ryan Babel for the AFC Ajax side.
- 69' Andre Onana has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 70' PSV ring the changes. Olivier Boscagli has done his job and it is now time for Ricardo Rodriguez to step up.
- 75' PSV have won 819 goals from 436 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 80' 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.
- 81' Time for substitution for PSV. Bruma is replaced by Chukwunonso Madueke.
