- 0' The game is set. Fortuna Sittard kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Fortuna Sittard is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' The travelling Fortuna Sittard supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 11' GOAL! Mexx Meerdink scores on 11. Assisted by Isak Jensen
- 15' GOAL! Sven Mijnans scores on 15. Assisted by Denso Kasius
- 20' AZ started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 35' It looks like no one’s ball. AZ is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 40' 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 Luuk Koopmans suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ivan Marquez on 45.
- 46' Fortuna Sittard manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Syb Van Ottele is hanging Ivan Marquez on the field on 46 minute.
- 51' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AZ that had 300 games and scored 566 goals.
- 54' It’s gonna be a card for Yassin Oukili.
- 59' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.

- 75' Another change for Fortuna Sittard made on 75 minute. Dimitris Limnios leaves to be changed by Luka Tunjic.
- 77' Ayoub Oufkir has so much to prove this time. He replaces Isak Jensen on 77 minute.

- 84' It is a substitution in AZ team. Denso Kasius is replaced by Seiya Maikuma on 84 minute.
- 89' 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.
