Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against AFC Ajax and PSV has kicked off!
- 1' PSV is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ricardo Pepi on 1.
- 6' Supporters expect more eagerness from Maarten Paes, as he is very good at scoring at Johan Cruijff Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 11' What a strike from Anton Gaaei! The score is 1-1.
- 16' 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 Jorthy Mokio suffering a number of foals already.
- 21' 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.
- 26' AFC Ajax is showing some good football. However, AFC Ajax are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 31' PSV looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Myron Boadu scoring 1 goals.
- 36' Mauro Junior needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 41' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 41 minutes.
- 46' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Steven Berghuis made 310 appearances and scored 82 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 51' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with PSV winning 0% of all matches.
- 56' Paul Wanner has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 55 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 61' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 66' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AFC Ajax that had 470 games and scored 728 goals.
- 71' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. PSV needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 75' AFC Ajax receives a card for a hard tackle on 75.
