- 2' Hakim Ziyech makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and AFC Ajax are in front.
- 7' Lille OSC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 12' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 17' It is a cagey affair so far. Lille OSC in their trying to find a way past AFC Ajax's compact .
- 22' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Christophe Galtier will be considering his options from the bench.
- 27' Noussair Mazraoui was booked on 27.
- 29' Reinildo catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 29.
- 34' Lille OSC have won 483 goals from 466 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 37' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Victor Osimhen on 37 minutes.
- 42' AFC Ajax fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 45' Noa Lang has so much to prove this time. He replaces Zakaria Labyad on 45 minute.
- 46' A change in the AFC Ajax ranks — Noussair Mazraoui exits the field as Edson Alvarez enters on 46.
- 51' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Benjamin Andre made 422 appearances and scored 15 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 56' The 32-year-old Reinildo has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 59' What a strike from Quincy Promes! The score is 0-2.
- 64' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 69' AFC Ajax started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 69.
- 72' Luiz Araujo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jonathan Bamba on 72 minute.
- 77' It is a substitution in Lille OSC team. Benjamin Andre is replaced by Renato Sanches on 77 minute.
- 82' The crowd applauds Yusuf Yazici as he leaves the pitch. Loic Remy steps in for Lille OSC.
- 85' AFC Ajax manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Siem de Jong is hanging Hakim Ziyech on the field on 85 minute.
- 90' 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 Zeki Celik suffering a number of foals already.
- It finishes all square. Lille OSC and AFC Ajax share the spoils 0-2.
