Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Willem II Tilburg launch into their encounter with AZ.
  • 5' It is a cagey affair so far. Willem II Tilburg in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past AZ's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 10' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AZ that had 313 games and scored 592 goals.
  • 20' Ringo Meerveld is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Willem II Tilburg so far.
  • 25' AZ have won 592 goals from 313 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 27' It’s gonna be a card for Amar Ahmed Fatah.
  • 28' Troy Parrott is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 2 goals this season for the forward.
  • 30' The referee calls foul for Boris Lambert. He receives a card.
  • 35' AZ has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 40' The energy levels are beginning to show. Peter Maes might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 42' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Sven Mijnans makes it 0-2.
  • 47' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 52' Willem II Tilburg started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 52.
  • 57' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 62' 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.
  • 64' Another substitution for AZ to replace Jayden Addai by Kees Smit on 64 minute.
  • 69' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 69 minutes.
  • 74' Supporters expect more eagerness from Amar Ahmed Fatah, as he is very good at scoring at Koning Willem II Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 79' Fresh legs for AZ! Denso Kasius comes on to replace Mayckel Lahdo.
  • 84' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Jeremy Bokila.
  • 89' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with AZ winning 0% of all matches.
  • 90' The referee shows Willem II Tilburg player a card on 90.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for AZ players.
