Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at De Adelaarshorst!
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' Portugal international Tiago Dantas has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AZ that had 315 games and scored 593 goals.
- 20' Gerrit Nauber has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 146 appearances.
- 22' The Go Ahead Eagles manager makes a substitution. Willum Thor Willumsson departs to be replaced by Soren Tengstedt.
- 24' Fresh legs for Go Ahead Eagles! Luca Everink comes on to replace Mats Deijl.
- 29' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with AZ winning 100% of all matches.
- 34' David Wolfe has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 39' GOAL! Ibrahim Sadiq scores on 39.
- 44' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 46' The crowd applauds Thibo Baeten as he leaves the pitch. Victor Edvardsen steps in for Go Ahead Eagles.
- 48' Sven Mijnans adds to his 6 season tally! AZ lead 0-2 — and this changes everything.
- 53' Jeffrey De Lange, a Netherlands , has 2 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 58' Go Ahead Eagles are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 63' It looks surprising Go Ahead Eagles does not make any changes. Lequincio Zeefuik has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 68' 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 Mees De Wit suffering a number of foals already.
- 73' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 76' The AZ manager makes a substitution. Mees De Wit departs to be replaced by David Wolfe.
- 77' A goal from the Netherlands international Myron van Brederode! He fires home on 77 to make it 0-3!
- 82' The travelling AZ supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 86' Denso Kasius has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ibrahim Sadiq on 86 minute.
- Game over. The scoreline of 0-3 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
