Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at MAC³PARK Stadion. Ninety minutes of football awaits between PEC Zwolle and AZ.
- 5' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 9' Brilliant from the midfielder! Pelle Clement makes it 1-0 with a superb finish on 9.
- 14' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 19' Over 19 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 24' 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 Bram van Polen suffering a number of foals already.
- 29' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 34' 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.
- 39' Marco Bizot, a Netherlands , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 44' Owen Wijndal has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 46' Yuta Nakayama has so much to prove this time. He replaces Rico Strieder on 46 minute.
- 51' Jesper Karlsson is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for PEC Zwolle so far.
- 56' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 60' Time for substitution for PEC Zwolle. Mustafa Saymak is replaced by Thomas Lam.
- 65' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 67' Fredrik Midtsjo does the damage! The net is bulging and AZ surge ahead!
- 72' Both keepers have barely been tested. PEC Zwolle and AZ are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 74' Jesper Drost is ready to make an impact after coming on for Dean Huiberts at the 74 minute mark.
- 79' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 80' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Sam Kersten.
- 82' Clint Leemans is replacing Pelle Clement for the PEC Zwolle side.
- 85' Ferdy Druijf is replacing Jesper Karlsson for the AZ side.
- 90' The home supporters are growing impatient. PEC Zwolle must find a spark to ignite this game.
- will have plenty to reflect on. were simply the better side today.
