- 0' Welcome to Huvepharma Arena that hosts another battle between PFK Ludogorets 1945 Razgrad and AFC Ajax.
- 5' AFC Ajax 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.
- 10' 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 Jay Gorter suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Kiril Despodov needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 16' What a strike from Mohammed Kudus! The score is 0-1.
- 18' Goal! Mohammed Kudus scores his 55 goal in 6 matches.
- 23' The travelling AFC Ajax supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 28' Supporters expect more eagerness from Claude Goncalves, as he is very good at scoring at Huvepharma Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 33' Marcel Heister has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 16 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 38' 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.
- 40' Goal! Brian Brobbey scores his 59 goal in 480 matches.
- 45' 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.
- 46' Another substitution for PFK Ludogorets 1945 Razgrad to replace Claude Goncalves by Dominik Yankov on 46 minute.
- 50' Goal! Mohammed Kudus scores his 55 goal in 6 matches.
- 55' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AFC Ajax needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 56' The supporters are chanting for Caio Vidal. He replaces Bernhard Tekpetey on 56 minute.
- 57' The supporters are chanting for Spas Delev. He replaces Kiril Despodov on 57 minute.
