Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to AFAS Stadion that hosts another battle between AZ and FC Groningen.
  • 4' - Jesper Karlsson puts AZ on the lead.
  • 5' - What a strike from Jesper Karlsson! The score is 2-0.
  • 10' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Tomas Suslov, as he is very good at scoring at AFAS Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with AZ winning 100% of all matches.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AZ that had 186 games and scored 405 goals.
  • 30' - The travelling FC Groningen supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 35' - FC Groningen 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.
  • 40' - 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.
  • 45' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 50' - AZ is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 55' - It looks surprising AZ does not make any changes. Michael Verrips has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 57' - Liam van Gelderen is having his name booked by the referee on 57.
  • 62' - AZ looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Jesper Karlsson scoring 3 goals.
  • 63' - Another substitution for FC Groningen to replace Laros Duarte by Luciano Valente on 63 minute.
  • 64' - The supporters are chanting for Sam Beukema. He replaces Fedde de Jong on 64 minute.
  • 65' - Another change for AZ made on 65 minute. Jens Odgaard leaves to be changed by Djordje Mihailovic.
  • 70' - 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 Tijani Reijnders suffering a number of foals already.
  • 75' - Wouter Goes has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 77' - Another substitution for FC Groningen to replace Jetro Willems by Damil Dankerlui on 77 minute.
  • 82' - Florian Kruger has so much to prove this time. He replaces Elvis Manu on 82 minute.
  • 87' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ricardo Pepi made 178 appearances and scored 30 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 90' - Another change for AZ made on 90 minute. Jesper Karlsson leaves to be changed by Zico Buurmeester.
  • Another three points for AZ.
