Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for AZ to score. At the same time, VBV De Graafschap does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. VBV De Graafschap needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 25' It’s high time John van den Brom made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 30' VBV De Graafschap is showing some good football. However, VBV De Graafschap are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 35' It looks like no one’s ball. AZ is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 40' Robert Klaasen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 45' 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.
- 50' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 55' 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.
- 60' It looks surprising VBV De Graafschap does not make any changes. Bart Straalman has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 61' Albert Gudmundsson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ron Vlaar on 61 minute.
- 65' Another substitution for VBV De Graafschap to replace Youssef Jebli by Daryl van Mieghem on 65 minute.

- 76' AZ is taking the lead after the goal scored by Mats Seuntjens on 76.
- 80' Furdjel Narsingh has so much to prove this time. He replaces Leeroy Owusu on 80 minute.
- 85' 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 Leeroy Owusu suffering a number of foals already.
- 86' Time for substitution for AZ. Mats Seuntjens is replaced by Marko Vejinovic.
- 90' Fredrik Midtsjo is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for VBV De Graafschap.
