Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: FK Dynamo Kyiv gets underway.
  • 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Hakim Ziyech made 480 appearances and scored 55 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 14' The referee calls foul for Tomasz Kedziora. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 19' It looks surprising AFC Ajax does not make any changes. Matthijs de Ligt has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 24' 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.
  • 29' Donny van de Beek has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 34' AFC Ajax player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 39' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AFC Ajax that had 480 games and scored 817 goals.
  • 44' It looks like no one’s ball. AFC Ajax is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Denys Harmash. He replaces Volodymyr Shepeliev on 46 minute.
  • 51' FK Dynamo Kyiv is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 54' Serhii Sydorchuk was booked on 54.
  • 59' 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 Serhii Sydorchuk suffering a number of foals already.
  • 64' The supporters are chanting for Mykola Shaparenko. He replaces Serhii Sydorchuk on 64 minute.
  • 69' AFC Ajax started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 69.
  • 70' A meaty challenge results in booking for Mykola Shaparenko on 70.
  • 75' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 79' The whistle greets Maximilian Wober as he departs to be replaced by Carel Eiting.
  • 84' It’s high time Olle Nordin made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 85' Dani de Wit is replacing Donny van de Beek for the AFC Ajax side.
  • 87' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Dusan Tadic.
  • The final score is 0-0.
