  • 10' AFC Ajax fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 20' With 1 assists to his name this season, Owen Wijndal is clearly more than just a goal scorer for AFC Ajax.

  • 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Marco Bizot, as he is very good at scoring at AFAS Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

  • 40' AFC Ajax has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 45' Both keepers have barely been tested. AZ and AFC Ajax are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.

  • 74' Edson Alvarez has been relatively quiet despite scoring 19 goals in his last 13 appearances.

  • 80' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Jordy Clasie.
  • 83' The crowd applauds Razvan Marin as he leaves the pitch. Nicolas Tagliafico steps in for AFC Ajax.
