Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia that hosts another battle between Atalanta BC and AFC Ajax.
  • 5' Berat Gjimshiti has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 30 cards already picked up this season.
  • 6' Lassina Franck Traore picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 11' It looks like no one’s ball. Atalanta BC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 16' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 20' Controversy at the stadium! Davy Klaassen argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 23' The referee shows Atalanta BC player a Yellow card on 23.
  • 25' The referee calls foul for Noussair Mazraoui. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 30' Magnificent from Dusan Tadic! That is 110 goals in 480 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 35' Atalanta BC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 38' Lassina Franck Traore has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 38 minutes.
  • 43' David Neres is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Atalanta BC tonight.
  • 48' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Atalanta BC and AFC Ajax are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 53' AFC Ajax fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 54' Against the run of play, Duvan Zapata has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 56' Sean Klaiber is ready to make an impact after coming on for Noussair Mazraoui at the 56 minute mark.
  • 60' Duvan Zapata makes no mistake. The score reads 2-2 and Atalanta BC are in front.
  • 65' Atalanta BC have won 714 goals from 525 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 66' Berat Gjimshiti has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 66.
  • 69' Quincy Promes gets the nod from AFC Ajax. He replaces David Neres and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 74' The energy levels are beginning to show. Gian Piero Gasperini might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 78' A change in the Atalanta BC ranks — Alejandro Gomez exits the field as Luis Muriel enters on 78.
  • 83' AFC Ajax is showing some good football. However, AFC Ajax are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 88' It looks surprising AFC Ajax does not make any changes. Rafael Toloi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 90' Another substitution for AFC Ajax to replace Antony by Zakaria Labyad on 90 minute.
  • 90' The referee calls foul for Ruslan Malinovskyi. He receives a Yellow card.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-2.
