Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds AFAS Stadion will turn into a battlefield for AZ and RKC Waalwijk.
  • 5' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Calvin Stengs makes it 1-0.
  • 10' AZ have won 566 goals from 300 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 15' Jesper Karlsson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 14 cards already picked up this season.
  • 20' The 29-year-old Sylla Sow has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 25' AZ are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 30' RKC Waalwijk are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 34' Pantelis Chatzidiakos catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 34.
  • 38' A change in the RKC Waalwijk ranks — Sylla Sow exits the field as Ola John enters on 38.
  • 43' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 46' The RKC Waalwijk manager makes a substitution. Nicolas Elsek departs to be replaced by Ayman Azhil.
  • 51' Over 51 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 56' It’s a booking for RKC Waalwijk player. Cyril Ngonge gets a Yellow card.
  • 61' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 66' A quiet spell here at AFAS Stadion. RKC Waalwijk seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 67' It is a substitution in RKC Waalwijk team. Luuk Wouters is replaced by Paul Quasten on 67 minute.
  • 71' It is a substitution in AZ team. Bruno Martins Indi is replaced by Myron Boadu on 71 minute.
  • 72' Albert Gudmundsson has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 72 minutes.
  • 75' Zakaria Aboukhlal gets the nod from AZ. He replaces Calvin Stengs and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 76' AZ ring the changes. Jonas Svensson has done his job and it is now time for Yukinari Sugawara to step up.
  • 78' RKC Waalwijk manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Finn Stokkers is hanging Cyril Ngonge on the field on 78 minute.
  • 83' RKC Waalwijk player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 84' AZ make a change. Jesper Karlsson trudges off to be replaced by Tijjani Reijnders on 84 minutes.
  • 89' 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 Cyril Ngonge suffering a number of foals already.
  • 3-0 the final result. RKC Waalwijk will be bitterly disappointed.
