  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against AZ and AS Roma has kicked off!
  • 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 10' AZ are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.

  • 19' The referee calls foul for Artem Dovbyk. He receives a card.
  • 24' 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 Jordy Clasie suffering a number of foals already.
  • 29' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 34' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His AZ side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.

  • 58' The home supporters are growing impatient. AZ must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 62' Mayckel Lahdo makes way for Zico Buurmeester at the 62 minute mark. A tactical switch from AZ.
  • 63' Wouter Goes catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. card on 63.
  • 68' Evan N'Dicka has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 5 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

  • 72' Troy Parrott has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mexx Meerdink on 72 minute.
