  • 16' Mats Seuntjens makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and AZ are in front.

  • 26' The referee calls foul for Jonas Svensson. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 29' Michal Sadilek gets the nod from PSV. He replaces Gaston Pereiro and will look to change the dynamic.

  • 64' A moment of madness from Oussama Idrissi on 64 minutes earns him a Yellow card. AZ will be frustrated.
