Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against HNK Rijeka and AZ has kicked off!
- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 10' 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.
- 15' 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.
- 18' AZ manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Timo Letschert is hanging Bruno Martins Indi on the field on 18 minute.
- 23' HNK Rijeka is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 28' HNK Rijeka receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 28.
- 33' 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.
- 38' AZ player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 43' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. HNK Rijeka needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 45' It’s a booking for AZ player. Fredrik Midtsjo gets a Yellow card.
- 50' It looks surprising AZ does not make any changes. Ivan Nevistic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 51' Luka Menalo puts HNK Rijeka on the lead.
- 56' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 56 minutes.
- 57' What an equalizer from Owen Wijndal!
- 62' 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 Jesper Karlsson suffering a number of foals already.
- 67' Supporters expect more eagerness from Bruno Martins Indi, as he is very good at scoring at Stadion HNK Rijeka with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 71' Time for substitution for AZ. Albert Gudmundsson is replaced by Zakaria Aboukhlal.
- 76' It looks like no one’s ball. AZ is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 80' The referee calls foul for Jesper Karlsson. He receives a Red card.
- 82' The referee calls foul for Calvin Stengs. He receives a Yellow card.
- 87' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 89' Ferdy Druijf has so much to prove this time. He replaces Myron Boadu on 89 minute.
- Full Time. HNK Rijeka beats AZ
