Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. AZ kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' SC Heerenveen are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against AZ's 4-3-3 shape.
  • 9' SC Heerenveen receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 9.
  • 14' It looks surprising SC Heerenveen does not make any changes. Pelle van Amersfoort has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 19' Vangelis Pavlidis puts AZ on the lead.
  • 20' Vangelis Pavlidis adds to his 14 season tally! AZ lead 0-2 — and this changes everything.
  • 23' The referee calls foul for Dani de Wit. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 24' GOAL! Patrik Walemark fires home to make it 1-2!
  • 29' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 29 minutes.
  • 33' AZ player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 38' 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.
  • 40' The referee has no hesitation. Denso Kasius is booked for AZ — Red card on 40.
  • 41' The referee does not hesitate — a Red card for Denso Kasius on 41 minutes.
  • 46' Another change for AZ made on 46 minute. Dani de Wit leaves to be changed by Wouter Goes.
  • 51' A stunning finish from Luuk Brouwers — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 56' Dani de Wit has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 3 cards already picked up this season.
  • 61' AZ has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 65' A tactical swap from SC Heerenveen — Thom Haye on, Syb Van Ottele off on 65 minutes.
  • 69' It is a substitution in AZ team. Myron van Brederode is replaced by Ruben van Bommel on 69 minute.
  • 74' Mayckel Lahdo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 75' The SC Heerenveen manager makes a substitution. Patrik Walemark departs to be replaced by Che Nunnely.
  • 79' AZ ring the changes. Riechedly Bazoer has done his job and it is now time for Mees De Wit to step up.
  • 80' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Luuk Brouwers.
  • 85' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Kees van Wonderen will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 88' Magnificent from Sven van Beek! That is 5 goals in 338 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 90' Time for substitution for SC Heerenveen. Luuk Brouwers is replaced by Espen van Ee.
  • 2-2 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
