  • 17' Poor challenge from Dani de Wit. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 22' Xander Blomme needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 27' AZ are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Go Ahead Eagles's 4-2-3-1 shape.

  • 34' Go Ahead Eagles receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 34.
  • 39' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His AZ side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.

  • 68' Sylla Sow has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jakob Breum on 68 minute.
