  • 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Besiktas JK needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 15' Davy Klaassen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' 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 Alex Teixeira suffering a number of foals already.

  • 46' Another substitution for AFC Ajax to replace Mohammed Daramy by Sebastien Haller on 46 minute.
