  • 0' KICK OFF: AFC Ajax gets underway.
  • 5' 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.

  • 45' Lille OSC is showing some good football. However, Lille OSC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
