Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at de Kuip. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.

  • 24' Remko Pasveer is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for AFC Ajax tonight.
  • 29' 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.
