Angelino with a careless cross behind the supporting leg, after which Paulo Dybala shoots the ball just over.
The first danger after the break is for AZ. David Moller Wolfe lunges with his left leg and sees his effort fly high.
Both teams started the second half unchanged.
Shame! Mexx Meerdink suddenly gets the ball at his feet and takes a hard shot from close range, but the bet goes wild.
Mexx Meerdink gets to know Mats Hummels. The German former world champion takes down the striker halfway through the half of AS Roma and receives a yellow card for that. Meerdink is now getting back on his feet.
A dangerous counter by AS Roma, after which the ball reaches Zeki Celik. His shot is half blocked and is therefore easy prey for Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro,
One of the few highlights so far. Sven Mijnans is almost well served, but an AS Roma defender is in between. Corner for AZ, but Artem Dovbyk also does his defensive job.
Wouter Goes receives an elbow bump from Artem Dovbyk. The AS Roma striker receives the yellow card for this.
The kick-off has been in Alkmaar by AS Roma. The seventh European game for AZ.
