Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: FC Volendam gets underway.
- 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Maarten Martens will be considering his options from the bench.
- 10' Kristijan Belic has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 15' FC Volendam are deployed in a 4-1-4-1 today, looking to exploit space against AZ's 4-2-3-1 shape.
- 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 Wouter Goes suffering a number of foals already.
- 22' The Netherlands Dani de Wit breaks the deadlock on 22 minutes. 0-1!
- 27' Milan de Haan has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 102 appearances.
- 30' Goal! Yukinari Sugawara scores his 15 goal in 439 matches.
- 35' It is a cagey affair so far. FC Volendam in their 4-1-4-1 trying to find a way past AZ's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 40' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 45' 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.
- 46' FC Volendam manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Safouane Karim is hanging Benaissa Benamar on the field on 46 minute.
- 51' FC Volendam are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 56' That looks like a foul for a card for Kristijan Belic.
- 61' named a 4-1-4-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 62' Dani de Wit has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 62.
- 65' Another substitution for AZ to replace Kristijan Belic by Tiago Dantas on 65 minute.
- 70' Against the run of play, Vangelis Pavlidis has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 75' The whistle greets Dani de Wit as he departs to be replaced by Lequincio Zeefuik.
- 76' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Yukinari Sugawara makes it 0-4.
- 76' Ruben van Bommel makes way for Myron van Brederode at the 76 minute mark. A tactical switch from AZ.
- 81' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His FC Volendam side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 82' A tactical swap from AZ — Jayden Addai on, Sven Mijnans off on 82 minutes.
- 87' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for AZ players.
