Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Johan Cruijff Arena. Ninety minutes of football awaits between AFC Ajax and PSV.
- 5' PSV is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' A quiet spell here at Johan Cruijff Arena. AFC Ajax seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 15' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 18' GOAL! Luuk de Jong scores on 18. Assisted by Noa Lang
- 23' It’s gonna be a card for Ryan Flamingo.
- 28' AFC Ajax are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 33' It looks surprising PSV does not make any changes. Brian Brobbey has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 43' What composure from Davy Klaassen! The Netherlands international strokes it home. 1-1.
- 46' Time for substitution for PSV. Matteo Dams is replaced by Mauro Junior.
- 51' PSV fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 54' Ivan Perisic doubles the advantage! 1-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 59' 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 Johan Bakayoko suffering a number of foals already.

- 74' Mika Godts doubles the advantage! 3-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 76' That is a card for PSV. Rick Karsdorp will be fuming at that decision.
- 81' Ricardo Pepi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Guus Til on 81 minute.
- 85' Steven Berghuis has so much to prove this time. He replaces Bertrand Traore on 85 minute.
- 86' A tactical swap from AFC Ajax — Daniele Rugani on, Davy Klaassen off on 86 minutes.
