Events
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. PAE AEK is hosting AFC Ajax for another epic battle.
- 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 10' PAE AEK is showing some good football. However, PAE AEK are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ehsan Hajsafi made 7 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' PAE AEK started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
- 30' What a strike from Steven Bergwijn! The score is 0-1.
- 35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kenneth Taylor, as he is very good at scoring at Agia Sophia Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 40' The referee calls foul for Domagoj Vida. He receives a card.
- 45' 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 Benjamin Tahirovic suffering a number of foals already.
