Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Fortuna Sittard Stadion!
- 5' 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 Dani de Wit suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 15' Arianit Ferati, a Germany , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 18' Brilliant from the ! Inigo Cordoba makes it 1-0 with a superb finish on 18.
- 23' Fortuna Sittard is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

- 46' AZ is showing some good football. However, AZ are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 53' A change in the Fortuna Sittard ranks — Alessio Da Cruz exits the field as Alen Halilovic enters on 53.
- 57' AZ ring the changes. Ruben van Bommel has done his job and it is now time for Myron van Brederode to step up.
