Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Yanmar Stadion. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Almere City FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined AZ backline.
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 15' A quiet spell here at Yanmar Stadion. AZ seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 20' The energy levels are beginning to show. Alex Pastoor might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 25' The travelling AZ supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 35' AZ have won 566 goals from 300 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Almere City FC that had 69 games and scored 62 goals.
  • 43' That is a Yellow card for Almere City FC. Joey Jacobs will be fuming at that decision.
  • 44' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Joey Jacobs.
  • 49' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 54' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 59' David Wolfe has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 60' AZ receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 60.
  • 63' The Almere City FC bench stirs into life. Pena is withdrawn and Rajiv van La Parra gets his opportunity.
  • 66' It is a substitution in AZ team. Ruben van Bommel is replaced by Ernest Poku on 66 minute.
  • 71' It looks like no one’s ball. Almere City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 74' The supporters are chanting for Lequincio Zeefuik. He replaces Kristijan Belic on 74 minute.
  • 77' Thomas Robinet is having his name booked by the referee on 77.
  • 82' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AZ needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 84' Loic Mbe Soh is ready to make an impact after coming on for Theo Barbet at the 84 minute mark.
  • 89' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Almere City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 90' A change in the Almere City FC ranks — Joey Jacobs exits the field as Hamdi Akujobi enters on 90.
  • will have plenty to reflect on. were simply the better side today.
