Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at AFAS Stadion. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 10' It looks surprising AS Roma does not make any changes. Niccolo Pisilli has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 19' AS Roma receives a card for a hard tackle on 19.
  • 24' AZ 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.
  • 29' AZ is showing some good football. However, AZ are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 34' The travelling AS Roma supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 35' It’s gonna be a card for Mats Hummels.
  • 40' Mile Svilar needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Leandro Paredes made 394 appearances and scored 23 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Matias Soule. He replaces Artem Dovbyk on 46 minute.
  • 51' It looks like no one’s ball. AS Roma is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 53' AZ receives a card for a hard tackle on 53.
  • 58' 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 Ernest Poku suffering a number of foals already.
  • 62' Another substitution for AZ to replace Mayckel Lahdo by Zico Buurmeester on 62 minute.
  • 63' AZ receives a card for a hard tackle on 63.
