Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at De Grolsch Veste. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 4' What a moment for Jens Odgaard! That strike on 4 puts his side firmly in control.
- 9' Robin Propper is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for AZ tonight.
- 14' 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.
- 19' FC Twente \'65 are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against AZ's 4-2-3-1 shape.
- 24' A quiet spell here at De Grolsch Veste. AZ seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 29' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both FC Twente \'65 and AZ are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 34' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 39' AZ seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 42' GOAL! Manfred Ugalde fires home to make it 0-2!
- 47' With 0 assists to his name this season, Mayckel Lahdo is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Twente \'65.
- 52' It is a cagey affair so far. FC Twente \'65 in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past AZ's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 57' It’s high time Joseph Oosting made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

- 70' Manfred Ugalde has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 70 minutes.
- 75' 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 Dani de Wit suffering a number of foals already.
- 78' Riechedly Bazoer has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mayckel Lahdo on 78 minute.
- 83' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Joseph Oosting will be considering his options from the bench.
