Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and PSV launch into their encounter with AZ.
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. AZ is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' The travelling AZ supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' 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 Marco Bizot suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 25' Zakaria Aboukhlal has been relatively quiet despite scoring 33 goals in his last 436 appearances.
- 26' That is a Yellow card for PSV. Pablo Rosario will be fuming at that decision.
- 31' What a strike from Teun Koopmeiners! The score is 0-1.
- 36' PSV 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.
- 39' GOAL! Teun Koopmeiners scores on 39.
- 44' PSV are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against AZ's shape.
- 46' The supporters are chanting for Mauro Junior. He replaces Ryan Thomas on 46 minute.
- 51' PSV have won 819 goals from 436 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 56' The referee has no hesitation. Denzel Dumfries is booked for PSV — Yellow card on 56.
- 58' The referee has no hesitation. Pantelis Chatzidiakos is booked for AZ — Yellow card on 58.
- 59' Goal! Philipp Max scores his 23 goal in 433 matches.
- 64' It’s high time Pascal Jansen made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 68' The referee calls foul for Bruno Martins Indi. He receives a Yellow card.
- 69' Ibrahim Sangare is having his name booked by the referee on 69.
- 73' Fresh legs for AZ! Tijjani Reijnders comes on to replace Jesper Karlsson.
- 77' Poor challenge from Owen Wijndal. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 82' AZ come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 83' Zakaria Aboukhlal has so much to prove this time. He replaces Myron Boadu on 83 minute.
- 87' The whistle greets Donyell Malen as he departs to be replaced by Marco van Ginkel.
- 90' The deadlock is broken! Calvin Stengs gets on the scoresheet on 90 minutes.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-3 draw is a fair result on the day.
