Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Fortuna Sittard launch into their encounter with AZ.

- 14' What composure from Sam Beukema! The Netherlands international strokes it home. 0-1.
- 19' Fortuna Sittard seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

- 29' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 34' It looks like no one’s ball. Fortuna Sittard is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

- 46' The whistle greets Andreas Samaris as he departs to be replaced by Ivo Pinto.
- 51' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Arianit Ferati made 268 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 56' The 26-year-old Hakon Evjen has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.

- 75' Tijjani Noslin is ready to make an impact after coming on for Roel Janssen at the 75 minute mark.
- 76' Another substitution for Fortuna Sittard to replace Roel Janssen by Tijjani Noslin on 76 minute.
