Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at AFAS Stadion. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 4' - AZ is taking the lead after the goal scored by Jesper Karlsson on 4.
  • 5' - What a strike from Jesper Karlsson! The score is 2-0.
  • 10' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 15' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 25' - It looks surprising FC Groningen does not make any changes. Tijani Reijnders has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' - AZ is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 35' - 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.
  • 40' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Groningen needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 45' - Pantelis Chatzidiakos has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 25 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 50' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 55' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 57' - FC Groningen receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 57.
  • 62' - 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 Luciano Valente suffering a number of foals already.
  • 63' - FC Groningen manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Luciano Valente is hanging Laros Duarte on the field on 63 minute.
  • 64' - The supporters are chanting for Sam Beukema. He replaces Fedde de Jong on 64 minute.
  • 65' - The supporters are chanting for Djordje Mihailovic. He replaces Jens Odgaard on 65 minute.
  • 70' - Vangelis Pavlidis needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 75' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with FC Groningen winning 0% of all matches.
  • 77' - It is a substitution in FC Groningen team. Jetro Willems is replaced by Damil Dankerlui on 77 minute.
  • 82' - The whistle greets Elvis Manu as he departs to be replaced by Florian Kruger.
  • 87' - 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.
  • 90' - The AZ manager makes a substitution. Jesper Karlsson departs to be replaced by Zico Buurmeester.
