Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for AZ and SBV Vitesse.
  • 5' Jonas Svensson was booked on 5.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' Russia international Vyacheslav Karavaev has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
  • 20' SBV Vitesse is showing some good football. However, SBV Vitesse are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 25' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 30' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 34' Controversy at the stadium! Pantelis Hatzidiakos argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 39' Poor challenge from Oussama Idrissi. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 43' Matus Bero picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 48' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SBV Vitesse that had 282 games and scored 317 goals.
  • 53' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Leonid Slutsky will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 58' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 63' The 36-year-old Thulani Serero has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 65' Bjorn Maars Johnsen gets the nod from AZ. He replaces Myron Boadu and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 66' Mitchell van Bergen gets the nod from SBV Vitesse. He replaces Roy Beerens and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 71' The home supporters are growing impatient. AZ must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 74' Another substitution for AZ to replace Mats Seuntjens by Albert Gudmundsson on 74 minute.
  • 75' Matus Bero makes way for Martin Odegaard at the 75 minute mark. A tactical switch from SBV Vitesse.
  • 79' It is a substitution in SBV Vitesse team. Tim Matavz is replaced by Oussama Darfalou on 79 minute.
  • 84' Dorin Rotariu is replacing Thomas Ouwejan for the AZ side.
