Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. AFC Ajax kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Alonzo Engwanda needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Steven Berghuis, as he is very good at scoring at Stadion Galgenwaard with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 29' What a moment for Sebastien Haller! That strike on 29 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 34' Bertrand Traore has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 39' Jordan Henderson is having his name booked by the referee on 39.
  • 44' The travelling AFC Ajax supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 45' A moment of madness from Paxten Aaronson on 45 minutes earns him a card. FC Utrecht will be frustrated.
  • 50' 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 Anton Gaaei suffering a number of foals already.
  • 52' Goal! Miguel Rodriguez scores his 8 goal in 324 matches.
  • 56' It’s a booking for AFC Ajax player. Brian Brobbey gets a card.
  • 59' Another change for AFC Ajax made on 59 minute. Mika Godts leaves to be changed by Wout Weghorst.
  • 63' The deadlock is broken! Miguel Rodriguez gets on the scoresheet on 63 minutes.
  • 68' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 70' Bertrand Traore is having his name booked by the referee on 70.
  • 72' A tactical swap from AFC Ajax — Owen Wijndal on, Jorrel Hato off on 72 minutes.
  • 77' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 78' The crowd applauds Alonzo Engwanda as he leaves the pitch. Matisse Didden steps in for FC Utrecht.
  • 83' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 85' The deadlock is broken! Paxten Aaronson gets on the scoresheet on 85 minutes.
  • 88' A tactical swap from FC Utrecht — Adrian Blake on, Yoann Cathline off on 88 minutes.
  • 90' A tactical swap from FC Utrecht — Victor Jensen on, Oscar Fraulo off on 90 minutes.
  • Full Time. FC Utrecht beats AFC Ajax
