Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. NAC Breda host AFC Ajax — let the battle begin!
  • 5' NAC Breda are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined AFC Ajax backline.
  • 10' NAC Breda is showing some good football. However, NAC Breda are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 15' AFC Ajax is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Erik ten Hag will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 30' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 35' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 38' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Daan Klomp.
  • 40' What composure from Jethro Mashart! The Netherlands international strokes it home. 1-0.
  • 41' A meaty challenge results in booking for Arno Verschueren on 41.
  • 46' The AFC Ajax bench stirs into life. Donny van de Beek is withdrawn and Zakaria Labyad gets his opportunity.
  • 51' AFC Ajax fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 54' GOAL! Zakaria Labyad scores on 54. Assisted by David Neres
  • 59' 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 Dusan Tadic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 62' The whistle greets Mounir El Allouchi as he departs to be replaced by Giovanni Korte.
  • 67' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Zakaria Labyad.
  • 71' Mitchell te Vrede is having his name booked by the referee on 71.
  • 76' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 81' The supporters are chanting for Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. He replaces Kasper Dolberg on 81 minute.
  • 86' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Daley Blind made 483 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 89' It is a substitution in NAC Breda team. Daan Klomp is replaced by Sydney van Hooijdonk on 89 minute.
  • 90' Assisted by Nicolas Tagliafico with the perfectly-timed delivery and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar makes no mistake. 1-2!
  • 90' A tactical swap from AFC Ajax — Maximilian Wober on, David Neres off on 90 minutes.
  • It finishes all square. NAC Breda and AFC Ajax share the spoils 0-3.
