Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Go Ahead Eagles launch into their encounter with AZ.
- 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 10' 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 Hakon Evjen suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' The referee has no hesitation. Fredrik Midtsjo is booked for AZ — Yellow card on 15.
- 20' Go Ahead Eagles is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 25' What a strike from Luuk Brouwers! The score is 1-0.
- 28' Assisted by Jesper Karlsson with the perfectly-timed delivery and Sam Beukema makes no mistake. 1-1!
- 33' Vangelis Pavlidis makes no mistake. The score reads 1-2 and AZ are in front.
- 38' It looks surprising AZ does not make any changes. Tijani Reijnders has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 42' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Vangelis Pavlidis makes it 1-3.
- 47' AZ are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 52' Go Ahead Eagles are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined AZ backline.
- 57' Philippe Rommens, a Belgium , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 59' Frank Ross is ready to make an impact after coming on for Giannis-Fivos Botos at the 59 minute mark.
- 63' Another substitution for AZ to replace Hakon Evjen by Kamal Deen Sowah on 63 minute.
- 68' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 73' Go Ahead Eagles are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 77' The whistle greets Vangelis Pavlidis as he departs to be replaced by Tijani Reijnders.
- 82' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Go Ahead Eagles side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 85' Sam Beukema is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the .
- 87' AZ make a change. Yukinari Sugawara trudges off to be replaced by Aslak Fonn Witry on 87 minutes.
