Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Royal Antwerp FC and AZ.
  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 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 Sinan Bolat suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' Royal Antwerp FC 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.
  • 25' 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.
  • 26' Ivo Rodrigues is having his name booked by the referee on 26.
  • 31' Albert Gudmundsson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 32' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Dieumerci Mbokani.
  • 35' A meaty challenge results in booking for Dieumerci Mbokani on 35.
  • 36' Marco Bizot was booked on 36.
  • 40' AZ player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 45' 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.
  • 46' Time for substitution for AZ. Thomas Ouwejan is replaced by Albert Gudmundsson.
  • 51' It’s a booking for Royal Antwerp FC player. Didier Lamkel Ze gets a Yellow card.
  • 53' AZ manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yukinari Sugawara is hanging Stijn Wuytens on the field on 53 minute.
  • 58' AZ started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 58.
  • 63' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 67' The whistle greets Jonas Svensson as he departs to be replaced by Ferdy Druijf.
  • 71' Martin Hongla is replacing Ivo Rodrigues for the Royal Antwerp FC side.
  • 73' What a strike from Didier Lamkel Ze! The score is 1-0.
  • 74' The referee shows Royal Antwerp FC player a Red card on 74.
  • 79' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 80' Dino Arslanagic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Lior Refaelov on 80 minute.
  • 85' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AZ that had 300 games and scored 566 goals.
  • 86' AZ receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 86.
  • 90' GOAL! Calvin Stengs scores on 90. Assisted by Oussama Idrissi
  • 90' Abdoulaye Seck is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for AZ players.
