Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. SC Heerenveen kicks off things out of here…
- 5' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His SC Heerenveen side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Arne Slot might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 15' The travelling AZ supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both SC Heerenveen and AZ are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 25' Dani de Wit has been relatively quiet despite scoring 41 goals in his last 480 appearances.
- 28' The referee shows SC Heerenveen player a Yellow card on 28.
- 33' Ibrahim Dresevic is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for AZ so far.
- 35' What a moment for Dani de Wit! That strike on 35 puts his side firmly in control.
- 40' Myron Boadu is a natural centre-forward and has been asked to do a very specific job for AZ tonight.
- 45' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 50' Supporters expect more eagerness from Chidera Ejuke, as he is very good at scoring at Abe Lenstra Stadion with 3 goals in the last 2 games.
- 55' Ricardo van Rhijn, a Netherlands , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 60' AZ started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 60.
- 63' A tactical swap from SC Heerenveen — Runar Espejord on, Jens Odgaard off on 63 minutes.

- 76' A meaty challenge results in booking for Teun Koopmeiners on 76.
- 81' 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.
- 83' Alen Halilovic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Rodney Kongolo on 83 minute.
- 86' Ramon Leeuwin gets the nod from AZ. He replaces Oussama Idrissi and will look to change the dynamic.

- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-2.
