Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and AFC Ajax launch into their encounter with Willem II Tilburg.
- 3' Poor challenge from Pol Llonch. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 8' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His AFC Ajax side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 13' AFC Ajax have won 817 goals from 480 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 18' Willem II Tilburg seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 23' The travelling Willem II Tilburg supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 28' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both AFC Ajax and Willem II Tilburg are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 33' Noa Lang has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 38' Willem II Tilburg come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 40' Poor challenge from Sergino Dest. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 42' A stunning finish from Mike Ndayishimye — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 47' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 52' It looks like no one’s ball. Willem II Tilburg is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 57' The crowd applauds Noa Lang as he leaves the pitch. Siem de Jong steps in for AFC Ajax.
- 60' The Willem II Tilburg bench stirs into life. Che Nunnely is withdrawn and Damil Dankerlui gets his opportunity.

- 79' The whistle greets Klaas-Jan Huntelaar as he departs to be replaced by Lassina Franck Traore.
- 80' AFC Ajax ring the changes. Daley Blind has done his job and it is now time for Noussair Mazraoui to step up.
- 85' 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 Vangelis Pavlidis suffering a number of foals already.
- 87' Fresh legs for Willem II Tilburg! Marious Vrousai comes on to replace Mats Kohlert.
- 90' Willem II Tilburg make a change. Vangelis Pavlidis trudges off to be replaced by Paul Gladon on 90 minutes.
