Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: AZ gets underway.
- 5' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 9' What composure from Luuk de Jong! The Switzerland international strokes it home. 0-1.
- 11' What a strike from Ismael Saibari! The score is 0-2.
- 16' Magnificent from Sergino Dest! That is 5 goals in 480 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 21' PSV have won 819 goals from 436 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 26' 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.
- 31' David Wolfe, a Norway , has 12 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 36' The whistle greets Tiago Dantas as he departs to be replaced by Kenzo Goudmijn.
- 41' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 45' A moment of madness from Ruben van Bommel on 45 minutes earns him a Yellow card. AZ will be frustrated.
- 50' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 55' Bruno Martins Indi is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for AZ so far.
- 57' A stunning finish from Luuk de Jong — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 62' A tactical swap from AZ — Myron van Brederode on, Ruben van Bommel off on 62 minutes.
- 67' Another substitution for AZ to replace David Wolfe by Denso Kasius on 67 minute.
- 69' The PSV manager makes a substitution. Jerdy Schouten departs to be replaced by Andre Ramalho.
- 74' Patrick van Aanholt is replacing Ismael Saibari for the PSV side.
- 77' That is a Yellow card for AZ. Kenzo Goudmijn will be fuming at that decision.
- 82' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 86' It is a substitution in PSV team. Olivier Boscagli is replaced by Shurandy Sambo on 86 minute.
- AZ will have plenty to reflect on. PSV were simply the better side today.
