Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between AZ and ADO Den Haag is underway.
- 5' Netherlands international Milan Hokke has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
- 10' Nigel Thomas has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
- 15' Matteo Waem is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for ADO Den Haag so far.
- 20' 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 Daryl van Mieghem suffering a number of foals already.
- 22' Elijah Dijkstra makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and AZ are in front.
- 27' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 32' Both keepers have barely been tested. AZ and ADO Den Haag are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 37' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 42' It is a cagey affair so far. AZ in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past ADO Den Haag's compact 4-3-3.
- 47' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dave Kwakman made 309 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 52' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His AZ side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 57' ADO Den Haag manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Illaijh de Ruijter is hanging Jalen Hawkins on the field on 57 minute.
- 61' GOAL! Ro-Zangelo Daal scores on 61. Assisted by Troy Parrott
- 64' Evan Rottier makes way for Jesse Bal at the 64 minute mark. A tactical switch from ADO Den Haag.
- 68' Assisted by Kees Smit with the perfectly-timed delivery and Calvin Stengs makes no mistake. 3-0!
- 72' AZ make a change. Kees Smit trudges off to be replaced by Hessel de Wit on 72 minutes.
- 73' A tactical swap from AZ — Mees De Wit on, Mateo Chavez off on 73 minutes.
- 74' Juho Kilo is having his name booked by the referee on 74.
- 79' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AZ that had 309 games and scored 584 goals.
- 81' Ayoub Oufkir has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ro-Zangelo Daal on 81 minute.
- 85' ADO Den Haag manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Lasse Wilhelm is hanging Pascal Mulder on the field on 85 minute.
- 90' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for ADO Den Haag.
