Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at AFAS Stadion. Ninety minutes of football awaits between AZ and SC Heerenveen.
  • 5' Sven Mijnans doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 10' Ireland international Troy Parrott has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
  • 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Robin van Persie will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 19' Goal! Luuk Brouwers scores his 21 goal in 6 matches.

  • 38' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His AZ side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 43' 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 Ruben van Bommel suffering a number of foals already.
  • 46' It is a substitution in SC Heerenveen team. Espen van Ee is replaced by Levi Smans on 46 minute.
  • 48' What a moment for Troy Parrott! That strike on 48 puts his side firmly in control.

  • 56' Troy Parrott makes no mistake. The score reads 5-1 and AZ are in front.
  • 61' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both AZ and SC Heerenveen are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 66' The travelling SC Heerenveen supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 69' The SC Heerenveen bench stirs into life. Oliver Braude is withdrawn and Denzel Hall gets his opportunity.
  • 70' Ilias Sebaoui makes way for Che Nunnely at the 70 minute mark. A tactical switch from SC Heerenveen.
  • 71' Another change for SC Heerenveen made on 71 minute. Ion Nicolaescu leaves to be changed by Daniel Karlsbakk.
  • 72' Assisted by Sven Mijnans with the perfectly-timed delivery and Ibrahim Sadiq makes no mistake. 6-1!
  • 74' The crowd applauds Ibrahim Sadiq as he leaves the pitch. Jayden Addai steps in for AZ.
  • 75' GOAL! Mexx Meerdink fires home to make it 7-1!
  • 80' Daniel Karlsbakk is having his name booked by the referee on 80.
  • 80' AZ ring the changes. Ruben van Bommel has done his job and it is now time for Zico Buurmeester to step up.
  • 82' Assisted by Zico Buurmeester with the perfectly-timed delivery and Kristijan Belic makes no mistake. 8-1!
  • 85' GOAL! Zico Buurmeester fires home to make it 9-1!
