Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between AZ and FC Utrecht is underway.
  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Utrecht needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' Mats Seuntjens is a natural midfielder and has been asked to do a very specific job for AZ tonight.
  • 15' It looks surprising FC Utrecht does not make any changes. Fredrik Midtsjo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' FC Utrecht started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 30' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His AZ side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 31' That is a Yellow card for FC Utrecht. Simon Gustafson will be fuming at that decision.
  • 36' AZ is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ricardo van Rhijn on 36.
  • 41' Morocco international Oussama Idrissi has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 42' Mats Seuntjens makes no mistake. The score reads 2-0 and AZ are in front.
  • 46' Jean-Christophe Bahebeck has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nick Venema on 46 minute.
  • 51' Marco Bizot, a Netherlands , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 56' Supporters expect more eagerness from Joris van Overeem, as he is very good at scoring at AFAS Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 61' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ron Vlaar is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Utrecht.
  • 62' Timo Letschert has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 62.
  • 67' A moment of madness from Sean Klaiber on 67 minutes earns him a Yellow card. FC Utrecht will be frustrated.
  • 72' Urby Emanuelson makes way for Sander van de Streek at the 72 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Utrecht.
  • 77' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Othman Boussaid made 321 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 80' A tactical swap from FC Utrecht — Othman Boussaid on, Gyrano Kerk off on 80 minutes.
  • 81' Fresh legs for AZ! Stijn Wuytens comes on to replace Oussama Idrissi.
  • 86' 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.
  • 90' GOAL! Calvin Stengs fires home to make it 3-0!
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-0.
