Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: AZ gets underway.
- 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 10' It’s high time Okan Buruk made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 12' The supporters are chanting for Zico Buurmeester. He replaces Sven Mijnans on 12 minute.
- 17' 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 Seiya Maikuma suffering a number of foals already.
- 22' Galatasaray SK is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 27' The travelling AZ supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 32' Galatasaray SK started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 32.
- 37' 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.
- 42' Goal! Seiya Maikuma scores his 6 goal in 183 matches.
- 46' Metehan Baltaci is replacing Davinson Sanchez for the Galatasaray SK side.
- 51' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AZ that had 288 games and scored 469 goals.

- 56' Goal! Victor Osimhen scores his 119 goal in 262 matches.

- 65' It’s gonna be a card for Elias Jelert Kristensen.
- 70' What a strike from Roland Sallai! The score is 2-2.
- 73' Time for substitution for Galatasaray SK. Gabriel Sara is replaced by Yusuf Demir.
- 78' It looks like no one’s ball. AZ is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 80' Time for substitution for Galatasaray SK. Victor Osimhen is replaced by Berat Lus.
- 85' Ernest Poku has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 31 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
