Events
Match Events
- 0' AFC Ajax have kicked off against SC Cambuur-Leeuwarden. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
- 5' AFC Ajax are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined SC Cambuur-Leeuwarden backline.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SC Cambuur-Leeuwarden that had 79 games and scored 121 goals.
- 15' David Sambissa has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 79 appearances.
- 20' Devyne Rensch has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 25' The travelling SC Cambuur-Leeuwarden supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 30' AFC Ajax started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
- 35' Steven Bergwijn doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 40' GOAL! Steven Bergwijn scores on 40.
- 44' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Edson Alvarez.
- 46' Fresh legs for AFC Ajax! Kenneth Taylor comes on to replace Edson Alvarez.
- 51' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 53' Goal! Devyne Rensch scores his 12 goal in 490 matches.
- 58' Another change for SC Cambuur-Leeuwarden made on 58 minute. Sai van Wermeskerken leaves to be changed by Doke Schmidt.

- 66' Silvester van der Water is replacing Jasper Ter Heide for the SC Cambuur-Leeuwarden side.
- 71' 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 Marco Tol suffering a number of foals already.
- 76' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
