Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: AZ gets underway.
  • 5' AZ are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined NEC backline.
  • 10' A quiet spell here at AFAS Stadion. AZ seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 15' Elayis Tavsan has been relatively quiet despite scoring 15 goals in his last 230 appearances.
  • 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' It looks like no one’s ball. AZ is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 31' Controversy at the stadium! Dani de Wit argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 36' It looks surprising AZ does not make any changes. Landry Dimata has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 41' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering NEC that had 171 games and scored 233 goals.
  • 46' 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.
  • 51' It is a cagey affair so far. AZ in their trying to find a way past NEC's compact .
  • 54' Magnificent from Ivan Marquez! That is 9 goals in 3 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 57' A goal from the Denmark international Jens Odgaard! He fires home on 57 to make it 1-1!
  • 62' AZ 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.
  • 67' 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.
  • 69' Time for substitution for NEC. Pedro Marques is replaced by Jordy Bruijn.
  • 74' Mikkel Duelund has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 76' A change in the NEC ranks — Elayis Tavsan exits the field as Landry Dimata enters on 76.
