Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Feyenoord Rotterdam and AFC Ajax has kicked off!
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 13' A moment of madness from Bryan Linssen on 13 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Feyenoord Rotterdam will be frustrated.
  • 15' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Ryan Gravenberch on 15 minutes.
  • 19' AFC Ajax manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Nicolas Tagliafico is hanging Lisandro Martinez on the field on 19 minute.
  • 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' Remko Pasveer is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for AFC Ajax so far.
  • 32' A meaty challenge results in booking for Sebastien Haller on 32.
  • 34' Antony has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 34.
  • 37' Jens Toornstra has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 37.
  • 42' Feyenoord Rotterdam is showing some good football. However, Feyenoord Rotterdam are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 44' The Argentina defender Marcos Senesi breaks the deadlock on 44 minutes. 0-1!
  • 46' A change in the Feyenoord Rotterdam ranks — Luis Sinisterra exits the field as Reiss Nelson enters on 46.
  • 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
  • 52' Feyenoord Rotterdam player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 57' It looks like no one’s ball. AFC Ajax is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 60' Fresh legs for AFC Ajax! Davy Klaassen comes on to replace Steven Berghuis.
  • 65' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nicolas Tagliafico, as he is very good at scoring at de Kuip with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 69' Another substitution for Feyenoord Rotterdam to replace Bryan Linssen by Cyriel Dessers on 69 minute.
  • 73' Controversy at the stadium! Arne Slot argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 73' AFC Ajax ring the changes. Jurrien Timber has done his job and it is now time for Devyne Rensch to step up.
  • 78' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Feyenoord Rotterdam that had 322 games and scored 629 goals.
  • 79' Controversy at the stadium! Reiss Nelson argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 81' The deadlock is broken! Dusan Tadic gets on the scoresheet on 81 minutes.
  • 86' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for AFC Ajax players.
