Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. AZ kicks off things out of here…
- 5' AZ started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' Rome Owusu-Oduro needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 13' AZ is taking the lead after the goal scored by Jordy Clasie on 13.
- 18' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 23' 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.
- 28' 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 Sven Mijnans suffering a number of foals already.
- 32' What a strike from Rome Owusu-Oduro! The score is 2-0.
- 37' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Thomas van den Belt made 222 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 42' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 42 minutes.
- 47' It’s high time Leeroy Echteld made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 52' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 55' GOAL! Sam Lammers scores on 55.
- 60' Supporters expect more eagerness from Mees De Wit, as he is very good at scoring at AFAS Stadion with 5 goals in the last 3 games.
- 65' FC Twente \'65 is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 70' Isak Jensen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 75' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with FC Twente \'65 winning 50% of all matches.
- 80' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Twente \'65 that had 232 games and scored 297 goals.
- 85' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AZ needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 90' 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.
- The final score is 2-2.
