Events

Match Events

  • 0' The ball is rolling at Koning Willem II Stadion. Willem II Tilburg are looking to make home advantage count against AZ.
  • 5' AZ player sees a Red card in front of him.
  • 10' The home supporters are growing impatient. Willem II Tilburg must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dani de Wit made 483 appearances and scored 41 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 25' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 30' Che Nunnely is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for AZ tonight.
  • 35' A quiet spell here at Koning Willem II Stadion. AZ seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 37' The referee calls foul for Pol Llonch. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 42' Willem II Tilburg is showing some good football. However, Willem II Tilburg are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 46' Another substitution for Willem II Tilburg to replace Pol Llonch by Dries Saddiki on 46 minute.
  • 51' Marco Bizot has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 304 appearances.
  • 56' Over 56 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 61' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 66' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Willem II Tilburg side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 71' It looks like no one’s ball. AZ is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 72' The deadlock is broken! Albert Gudmundsson gets on the scoresheet on 72 minutes.
  • 74' Dries Saddiki picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 76' Mats Kohlert is replacing Che Nunnely for the Willem II Tilburg side.
  • 77' AZ receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 77.
  • 82' It is a substitution in AZ team. Jesper Karlsson is replaced by Tijjani Reijnders on 82 minute.
  • 87' 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 Bruno Martins Indi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' The AZ manager makes a substitution. Fredrik Midtsjo departs to be replaced by Jordy Clasie.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-1.
