Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: AZ gets underway.
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. AZ is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 6' Teun Koopmeiners puts AZ on the lead.
- 11' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Owen Wijndal made 288 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 13' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Sandro Kulenovic.
- 17' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Teun Koopmeiners.
- 20' Goal! Albert Gudmundsson scores his 27 goal in 101 matches.
- 25' HNK Rijeka started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
- 30' 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 Luka Menalo suffering a number of foals already.
- 31' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Albert Gudmundsson.
- 34' HNK Rijeka player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 39' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 39 minutes.
- 44' 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.
- 49' AZ seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 51' GOAL! Jesper Karlsson scores on 51. Assisted by Fredrik Midtsjo
- 56' 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.
- 60' Albert Gudmundsson with the second goal in the match!
- 62' Another substitution for AZ to replace Pantelis Chatzidiakos by Ramon Leeuwin on 62 minute.
- 65' It is a substitution in HNK Rijeka team. Franko Andrijasevic is replaced by Tibor Halilovic on 65 minute.

- 67' Time for substitution for AZ. Jesper Karlsson is replaced by Hakon Evjen.
- 72' What a strike from Sandro Kulenovic! The score is 4-1.
- 77' It’s high time Arne Slot made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 80' The whistle greets Ivan Tomecak as he departs to be replaced by Momcilo Raspopovic.
- 85' 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.
- 86' HNK Rijeka receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 86.
- 90' AZ manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yusuf Barasi is hanging Albert Gudmundsson on the field on 90 minute.
