Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: AZ gets underway.
- 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AZ needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

- 15' Netherlands international Gustavo Hamer has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 20' Lennart Thy, a Germany , has 3 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 25' 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.
- 30' 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 Mike van Duinen suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' PEC Zwolle are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 40' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 45' 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.
- 50' AZ are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 55' The 30-year-old Pelle Clement has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 60' AZ come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 65' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both PEC Zwolle and AZ are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 67' The PEC Zwolle manager makes a substitution. Stanley Elbers departs to be replaced by Vito van Crooy.
- 72' Calvin Stengs has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 73' Zian Flemming gets the nod from PEC Zwolle. He replaces Lennart Thy and will look to change the dynamic.
- 78' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 83' It looks like no one’s ball. PEC Zwolle is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 88' A change in the PEC Zwolle ranks — Mike van Duinen exits the field as Clint Leemans enters on 88.
- celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
