- 0' KICK OFF: Tottenham Hotspur FC gets underway.
- 5' 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 Djed Spence suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' The travelling AZ supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' Guglielmo Vicario needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 26' Assisted by Dominic Solanke with the perfectly-timed delivery and Wilson Odobert makes no mistake. 1-0!
- 31' With 0 assists to his name this season, Seiya Maikuma is clearly more than just a goal scorer for AZ.
- 36' Tottenham Hotspur FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined AZ backline.
- 41' AZ is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 46' AZ ring the changes. Ibrahim Sadiq has done his job and it is now time for Mees De Wit to step up.
- 48' The deadlock is broken! James Maddison gets on the scoresheet on 48 minutes.
- 53' Mexx Meerdink has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 58' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 61' The Tottenham Hotspur FC bench stirs into life. Mickey van de Ven is withdrawn and Archie Gray gets his opportunity.
- 63' What a moment for Peer Koopmeiners! That strike on 63 puts his side firmly in control.
- 68' The crowd applauds Zico Buurmeester as he leaves the pitch. Kees Smit steps in for AZ.
- 73' A quiet spell here at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Tottenham Hotspur FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 74' Wilson Odobert doubles the advantage! 3-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 77' Time for substitution for Tottenham Hotspur FC. James Maddison is replaced by Yves Bissouma.
- 81' The AZ manager makes a substitution. Seiya Maikuma departs to be replaced by Mexx Meerdink.
- 84' Lucas Bergvall makes way for Ben Davies at the 84 minute mark. A tactical switch from Tottenham Hotspur FC.
- 87' The supporters are chanting for Kristijan Belic. He replaces Wouter Goes on 87 minute.
- AZ will have plenty to reflect on. Tottenham Hotspur FC were simply the better side today.
