Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between AZ and SBV Vitesse is underway.
- 5' Poor challenge from Jonas Svensson. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 10' AZ are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 15' SBV Vitesse fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mats Seuntjens made 316 appearances and scored 33 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' AZ are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 30' The 33-year-old Oussama Darfalou has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 34' Pantelis Hatzidiakos has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 34.
- 39' Oussama Idrissi catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 39.
- 43' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Matus Bero on 43 minutes.
- 48' It looks like no one’s ball. SBV Vitesse is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 53' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 58' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Leonid Slutsky will be considering his options from the bench.
- 63' 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 Tim Matavz suffering a number of foals already.
- 65' The supporters are chanting for Bjorn Maars Johnsen. He replaces Myron Boadu on 65 minute.
- 66' Another change for SBV Vitesse made on 66 minute. Roy Beerens leaves to be changed by Mitchell van Bergen.
- 71' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 74' A change in the AZ ranks — Mats Seuntjens exits the field as Albert Gudmundsson enters on 74.
- 75' The SBV Vitesse bench stirs into life. Matus Bero is withdrawn and Martin Odegaard gets his opportunity.
- 79' Another change for SBV Vitesse made on 79 minute. Tim Matavz leaves to be changed by Oussama Darfalou.
- 84' Time for substitution for AZ. Thomas Ouwejan is replaced by Dorin Rotariu.
- 89' The referee has no hesitation. Alexander Buttner is booked for SBV Vitesse — Yellow card on 89.
- The points are shared — AZ 0-0 SBV Vitesse. Honours even.
