Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Manchester United FC launch into their encounter with AZ.
- 5' Andreas Pereira has been relatively quiet despite scoring 25 goals in his last 420 appearances.
- 10' Axel Tuanzebe has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 15' AZ come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 20' AZ is showing some good football. However, AZ are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Fredrik Midtsjo made 313 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 28' That is a Yellow card for AZ. Jordy Clasie will be fuming at that decision.
- 33' Jordy Clasie, a Netherlands , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 38' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AZ that had 313 games and scored 592 goals.
- 43' The 26-year-old Yukinari Sugawara has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 48' 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 Marco Bizot suffering a number of foals already.
- 53' Ashley Young is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the left-back.
- 58' Mason Greenwood makes no mistake. The score reads 2-0 and Manchester United FC are in front.
- 58' Fredrik Midtsjo was booked on 58.
- 59' Manchester United FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Tahith Chong is hanging Anthony Martial on the field on 59 minute.
- 62' A stunning finish from Juan Mata — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 63' Dani de Wit makes way for Ferdy Druijf at the 63 minute mark. A tactical switch from AZ.
- 64' GOAL! Mason Greenwood fires home to make it 4-0!
- 68' A change in the Manchester United FC ranks — Harry Maguire exits the field as Phil Jones enters on 68.
- 73' Netherlands international Thomas Ouwejan has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 77' Another change for AZ made on 77 minute. Oussama Idrissi leaves to be changed by Thomas Ouwejan.
- 82' The referee shows Manchester United FC player a Yellow card on 82.
- 84' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Teun Koopmeiners.
- 89' A quiet spell here at Old Trafford. AZ seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Manchester United FC players.
