- 22' The referee calls foul for Kaoru Mitoma. He receives a card.
- 27' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kenneth Taylor made 469 appearances and scored 20 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 31' That looks like a foul for a card for Jan Paul van Hecke.
- 36' Supporters expect more eagerness from Borna Sosa, as he is very good at scoring at Amex Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 41' It looks like no one’s ball. Brighton & Hove Albion FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

- 46' The supporters are chanting for Kristian Hlynsson. He replaces Carlos Forbs on 46 minute.

- 76' Silvano Vos is replacing Steven Bergwijn for the AFC Ajax side.
- 81' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
