- 15' Jurien Gaari, a Curacao , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.

- 23' AFC Ajax are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 28' It looks like no one’s ball. RKC Waalwijk is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 33' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Zakaria Bakkali made 390 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
