Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Fortuna Sittard Stadion. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Fortuna Sittard and AFC Ajax.
  • 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 10' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' The 37-year-old Dimitrios Siovas has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 25' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Fortuna Sittard that had 265 games and scored 303 goals.
  • 35' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 36' Controversy at the stadium! Gaston Avila argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.

  • 45' The referee calls foul for Brian Brobbey. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 50' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 55' 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 Rodrigo Guth suffering a number of foals already.
  • 60' A quiet spell here at Fortuna Sittard Stadion. Fortuna Sittard seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 62' A change in the AFC Ajax ranks — Devyne Rensch exits the field as Anton Gaaei enters on 62.

  • 70' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AFC Ajax needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 72' Fresh legs for AFC Ajax! Kenneth Taylor comes on to replace Benjamin Tahirovic.
  • 73' Remy Vita has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mitchell Dijks on 73 minute.
  • 78' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 83' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 88' The whistle greets Inigo Cordoba as he departs to be replaced by Iman Griffith.
