- 46' Another substitution for AZ to replace Hakon Evjen by Kamal Deen Sowah on 46 minute.
- 51' FC Twente \'65 have won 416 goals from 254 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

- 90' FC Twente '65 manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kik Pierie is hanging Ramiz Zerrouki on the field on 90 minute.
