Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds AFAS Stadion will turn into a battlefield for AZ and IF Elfsborg.
- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Arber Zeneli made 358 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
- 23' Timothy Ouma puts IF Elfsborg on the lead.
- 28' 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 Rami Kaib suffering a number of foals already.
- 33' 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.
- 38' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering IF Elfsborg that had 8 games and scored 11 goals.
- 43' IF Elfsborg seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 44' What a strike from Ruben van Bommel! The score is 1-1.
- 49' It looks surprising IF Elfsborg does not make any changes. Seiya Maikuma has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 50' GOAL! Ruben van Bommel scores on 50.
- 53' Goal! Simon Hedlund scores his 6 goal in 425 matches.
- 55' The whistle greets Arber Zeneli as he departs to be replaced by Jalal Abdulai.
- 57' Jayden Addai is replacing Ibrahim Sadiq for the AZ side.
- 59' The referee shows IF Elfsborg player a card on 59.
- 64' Ibrahim Buhari has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 69' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 74' AZ is taking the lead after the goal scored by Troy Parrott on 74.
- 78' It is a substitution in IF Elfsborg team. Timothy Ouma is replaced by Johan Larsson on 78 minute.
- 80' Sven Mijnans is having his name booked by the referee on 80.
- 83' The referee shows IF Elfsborg player a card on 83.
- 84' It is a substitution in AZ team. Sven Mijnans is replaced by Zico Buurmeester on 84 minute.
- 86' That looks like a foul for a card for Sebastian Holmen.

- 89' Emil Holten has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ibrahim Buhari on 89 minute.
