Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Go Ahead Eagles host AZ — let the battle begin!
- 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 Denso Kasius suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Seiya Maikuma has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 15' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Gerrit Nauber makes no mistake. 1-0!
- 20' 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.
- 25' AZ is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 30' Jari De Busser is a natural goalkeeper and has been asked to do a very specific job for AZ tonight.
- 35' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 40' Victor Edvardsen has been relatively quiet despite scoring 16 goals in his last 4 appearances.
- 44' What a strike from Wouter Goes! The score is 1-1.
- 45' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Alexandre Penetra on 45 minutes.
- 47' A meaty challenge results in booking for Aske Adelgaard on 47.
- 52' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 57' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 62' AZ come into this ranked 6 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 65' Milan Smit makes way for Enric Llansana at the 65 minute mark. A tactical switch from Go Ahead Eagles.
- 69' The AZ bench stirs into life. Ernest Poku is withdrawn and Jayden Addai gets his opportunity.
- 74' Sensational shot from Jayden Addai. AZ is back in the lead.
- 78' Another substitution for AZ to replace Seiya Maikuma by Denso Kasius on 78 minute.
- 79' Ibrahim Sadiq is ready to make an impact after coming on for Mexx Meerdink at the 79 minute mark.
- 80' Finn Stokkers gets the nod from Go Ahead Eagles. He replaces Victor Edvardsen and will look to change the dynamic.
- 85' The whistle greets Sven Mijnans as he departs to be replaced by Zico Buurmeester.
- 90' That is a card for AZ. Kees Smit will be fuming at that decision.
- It finishes all square. Go Ahead Eagles and AZ share the spoils 0-3.
