Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between AFC Ajax and PSV is underway.
  • 5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Erik ten Hag might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 10' Ryan Gravenberch is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for AFC Ajax so far.
  • 15' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His AFC Ajax side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 19' Steven Berghuis doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 24' That is a Yellow card for AFC Ajax. Edson Alvarez will be fuming at that decision.
  • 29' AFC Ajax player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 34' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 36' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Philipp Max.
  • 41' It’s high time Erik ten Hag made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 46' AFC Ajax is showing some good football. However, AFC Ajax are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 51' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AFC Ajax that had 483 games and scored 824 goals.
  • 56' The Ivory Coast forward Sebastien Haller breaks the deadlock on 56 minutes. 2-0!
  • 58' Time for substitution for PSV. Bruma is replaced by Yorbe Vertessen.
  • 63' Both keepers have barely been tested. AFC Ajax and PSV are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 66' What a strike from Antony! The score is 3-0.
  • 69' Carlos Vinicius has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 69.
  • 69' The AFC Ajax bench stirs into life. Steven Berghuis is withdrawn and Davy Klaassen gets his opportunity.
  • 72' PSV ring the changes. Carlos Vinicius has done his job and it is now time for Mauro Junior to step up.
  • 76' GOAL! Davy Klaassen fires home to make it 4-0!
  • 80' The supporters are chanting for Mohammed Kudus. He replaces Ryan Gravenberch on 80 minute.
  • 81' The whistle greets Mario Gotze as he departs to be replaced by Erick Gutierrez.
  • 86' Marco van Ginkel has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 88' Another change for AFC Ajax made on 88 minute. Edson Alvarez leaves to be changed by Perr Schuurs.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 5-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
