Events

- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mats Seuntjens made 315 appearances and scored 33 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' AZ seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

- 20' Gustavo Hamer has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 25' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 30' The 32-year-old Younes Namli has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 35' Both keepers have barely been tested. PEC Zwolle and AZ are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.

- 55' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. PEC Zwolle needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 60' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering PEC Zwolle that had 244 games and scored 272 goals.

- 67' The crowd applauds Stanley Elbers as he leaves the pitch. Vito van Crooy steps in for PEC Zwolle.
- 72' 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.
- 73' The whistle greets Lennart Thy as he departs to be replaced by Zian Flemming.
- 78' It’s high time Jaap Stam made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
