Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for PEC Zwolle to score. At the same time, AFC Ajax does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' AFC Ajax are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 10' AFC Ajax started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
- 15' Devyne Rensch has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 20' 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 Edson Alvarez suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AFC Ajax that had 480 games and scored 817 goals.
- 28' David Neres adds to his 0 season tally! AFC Ajax lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
- 33' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 38' Nicolas Tagliafico adds to his 0 season tally! AFC Ajax lead 0-2 — and this changes everything.
- 43' Eliano Reijnders, a Indonesia , has 7 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 46' The AFC Ajax manager makes a substitution. Devyne Rensch departs to be replaced by Sean Klaiber.
- 51' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both PEC Zwolle and AFC Ajax are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 56' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His PEC Zwolle side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 61' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 62' Dean Huiberts has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 62.
- 64' PEC Zwolle ring the changes. Thomas Buitink has done his job and it is now time for Slobodan Tedic to step up.
- 68' It is a substitution in AFC Ajax team. Nicolas Tagliafico is replaced by Jurgen Ekkelenkamp on 68 minute.
- 73' 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.
- 74' The crowd applauds Davy Klaassen as he leaves the pitch. Mohammed Kudus steps in for AFC Ajax.
- 79' PEC Zwolle is showing some good football. However, PEC Zwolle are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 80' A change in the AFC Ajax ranks — Dusan Tadic exits the field as Antony enters on 80.
- 85' It is a cagey affair so far. PEC Zwolle in their trying to find a way past AFC Ajax's compact .
- 90' Sebastien Haller was booked on 90.
- Full Time. AFC Ajax beats PEC Zwolle
