Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Fortuna Sittard Stadion will turn into a battlefield for Fortuna Sittard and AFC Ajax.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Fortuna Sittard that had 277 games and scored 323 goals.
  • 6' Paul Gladon puts Fortuna Sittard on the lead.
  • 11' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Sjors Ultee will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 16' It looks surprising AFC Ajax does not make any changes. Lisandro Magallan has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 21' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Fortuna Sittard side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 26' With 2 assists to his name this season, Dusan Tadic is clearly more than just a goal scorer for AFC Ajax.
  • 27' Mats Seuntjens catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 27.
  • 32' It looks like no one’s ball. Fortuna Sittard is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 37' 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.
  • 42' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 46' Time for substitution for AFC Ajax. Steven Berghuis is replaced by Brian Brobbey.
  • 48' Kenneth Taylor has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 48 minutes.
  • 51' Magnificent from Devyne Rensch! That is 12 goals in 492 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 56' Fortuna Sittard is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 61' The energy levels are beginning to show. Sjors Ultee might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 62' Goal! Brian Brobbey scores his 63 goal in 492 matches.
  • 66' A change in the Fortuna Sittard ranks — Tijjani Noslin exits the field as Burak Yilmaz enters on 66.
  • 71' Mohammed Kudus is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Fortuna Sittard tonight.
  • 74' The AFC Ajax manager makes a substitution. Devyne Rensch departs to be replaced by Lisandro Magallan.
  • 78' Ivo Pinto is ready to make an impact after coming on for Rodrigo Guth at the 78 minute mark.
  • 79' Goal! Steven Bergwijn scores his 61 goal in 452 matches.
  • 82' It’s a booking for Fortuna Sittard player. Arianit Ferati gets a Yellow card.
  • 87' Burak Yilmaz doubles the advantage! 2-4 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 88' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Paul Gladon.
