Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for AZ to score. At the same time, FC Utrecht does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Troy Parrott needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 6' The referee has no hesitation. Ole Romeny is booked for FC Utrecht — card on 6.
- 11' With 0 assists to his name this season, Oscar Fraulo is clearly more than just a goal scorer for AZ.
- 16' It is a cagey affair so far. AZ in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past FC Utrecht's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 21' A meaty challenge results in booking for Sven Mijnans on 21.
- 24' Magnificent from Troy Parrott! That is 44 goals in 385 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 26' The referee shows FC Utrecht player a card on 26.
- 31' 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 Can Bozdogan suffering a number of foals already.
- 32' Yoann Cathline does the damage! The net is bulging and FC Utrecht surge ahead!
- 37' 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.
- 42' Both keepers have barely been tested. AZ and FC Utrecht are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 46' The whistle greets Jens Toornstra as he departs to be replaced by Victor Jensen.
- 51' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 55' A stunning finish from Paxten Aaronson — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 60' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 63' AZ manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mayckel Lahdo is hanging Jayden Addai on the field on 63 minute.
- 68' AZ currently sit 2 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 73' It looks like no one’s ball. AZ is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 76' Time for substitution for FC Utrecht. David Min is replaced by Noah Ohio.
- 77' It is a substitution in AZ team. Bruno Martins Indi is replaced by Maxim Dekker on 77 minute.

- 84' Yoann Cathline makes way for Taylor Booth at the 84 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Utrecht.
