Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Stadion De Vijverberg that hosts another battle between VBV De Graafschap and AZ.
  • 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' AZ started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
  • 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering VBV De Graafschap that had 35 games and scored 41 goals.
  • 35' 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 Nabil Bahoui suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' Supporters expect more eagerness from Leeroy Owusu, as he is very good at scoring at Stadion De Vijverberg with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 45' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 50' Fredrik Midtsjo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 52' Goal! Guus Til scores his 65 goal in 300 matches.
  • 54' Azor Matusiwa was booked on 54.
  • 59' It looks like no one’s ball. AZ is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 64' It’s high time Henk de Jong made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 67' Fabian Serrarens has so much to prove this time. He replaces Delano Burgzorg on 67 minute.
  • 71' Another substitution for VBV De Graafschap to replace Furdjel Narsingh by Nabil Bahoui on 71 minute.
  • 73' AZ receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 73.
