There is the 2-0 of the home team. Nils Rossen is the maker of the goal.
Telstar never gets into trouble after the opening goal. It can easily play against the Eagles.
Via Soufiane Hetli and Tejan, Telstar becomes dangerous shortly after the opening goal. In both cases the ball does not go in, but the intention of the home team is clear.
The first goal of the afternoon is for Telstar. The header of Tyrese Noslin can still be turned by Jari de Busser, but the rebound of Kay Tejan is hit.
The traffic jam on the A9 has not been spared the GO Ahead Eagles players’ bus. The players of the Eagles have not arrived at the stadium about an hour before the game, says our reporter Erik-Jan Brinkman. Under police supervision, the bus tries to arrive in Velsen-Zuid as quickly as possible.
The players of Ajax Women have spilled points in the Eredivisie for the first time. The Amsterdammers got stuck at a 0-0-yellow game against AZ.
The leading position is now for Ajax, but FC Twente and PSV can get over it this afternoon with a win. AZ is currently fourth in the stand.
What an opportunity deep in injury time. Alexandre Penetra appears, but shoots wildly over and next to NEC’s goal.
The extra playing time is five minutes. Will AZ still manage to drag a point out of the fire?
Jordy Clasie has to get off the field. The captain of AZ gets his second yellow card from the afternoon after he puts a block. AZ further with ten men.
The NEC trainer had just dived inside. Dick Schreuder had to go to the toilet for a moment? And did he see the goal of his team? All ask here in the stands.
Wouter Goes leaves the field under a flute concert by the audience. He is being replaced by Matej Sin.
AZ again behind NEC. Captain Dirk Proper heads the ball against the ropes from a cornered corner. With ten minutes to go, AZ has to think of something.
Lequincio Zeefuik was already ready to get in the lines, but Mexx Meerdink is being hit in his face. It is not the afternoon of Meerdink, which is changed for Zeefuik.
The irritations are rising, also at Jordy Clasie. The AZ captain makes a violation, after which he goes out of his record towards the referee. It is already the fifth yellow card on the AZ side this afternoon. Earlier, Koopmeiners, De Wit, Goes and Meerdink were already thrown on the voucher.
There is the change of Mees de Wit. The AZ left back was against a red card and is brought to the side by trainer Maarten Martens. Mateo Chavez is his replacement.
Mees de Wit already has yellow in his pocket, but plays on the edge. This time he causes a free kick just outside the sixteen and he can remain standing.
Out of nowhere there is the equalizer of AZ! Ibrahim Sadiq shoots in convincing after fumbling in the back at NEC. Goalkeeper Gonzalo Crettaz solves on a hard cross and thereby introduces AZ’s goal.
The home team also starts fresh and fruity, but especially attacking on the second half. NEC pushes AZ back and has had the first chances through a header by Bryan Linssen.
Two switches on the side of AZ. Peer Koopmeiners and Ro-Zangelo Daal are changed for Dave Kwakman and Isak Jensen.
AZ looks at a 1-0 deficit at halftime. The Alkmaarders are struggling with the ultra-attacking NEC.
AZ has a lot of trouble with NEC’s game. The people of Nijmegen play very varied and play full on the attack. The Alkmaarders are difficult to get out of the pressure, making the lead for NEC more than logical.
A nice possibility for NEC. After a good attack, former az’er Thomas Ouwejan winds the ball in front of Koki Ogawa’s head, but the striker just heads over.
Wouter Goes hinders NEC’s Ingooi, after which Bryan Linssen decides to throw the ball against Goes’s head. Referee Sander van der Eijk first drops the card out of his hand, after which it is shown to Goes. The audience is enjoying it.
There is the goal for AZ. Basar Ünal is served and places the ball in the far corner, outside the reach of goalkeeper Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro.
The home team increasingly takes matters. NEC plays a lot on half of AZ and tries it with passes and long shots. AZ is constantly being put under pressure by Dick Schreuder’s team.
Mees de Wit saves yellow cards this season, it seems. The AZ left back will receive its fourth yellow card of the season in the seventh round. That means that De Wit is suspended the next AZ the next game.
That doesn’t matter. After an attack on the left, Kdai Sano drops the fall on Bryan Linssen. Part of the audience welcomes, but the ball goes just next to the goal of Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro.
Sven Mijnans almost gives AZ to the Goffert. The midfielder gets up close, but his ball is defended as a corner.
The first goal attempt is for AZ. Mexx Meerdink shoots hard from outside the sixteen and goalkeeper Gonzalo Crettaz taps the ball over the goal.
In the opening phase it is mainly NEC that tries to put pressure on AZ. As expected actually. The Alkmaarders are forced to play long balls towards Mexx Meerdink.
The ball rolls in Nijmegen at NEC – AZ.
In-house, the team of trainer Dick Schreuder PhD student Excelsior rolled up 5-0 and NAC Breda was also defeated with convincing figures: 3-0. Two weeks ago it lost 5-3 to PSV in a spectacle piece. “Other things will be asked of us,” says Martens about NEC’s attacking playing style. A comment on it Dikkie-Takka Is that 11 of the 12 goals in the last three matches fell.
AZ can still not have Troy Parrott and Seiya Maikuma in Nijmegen. The two have been out of circulation for several weeks. Kees Smit is also not there against NEC. Mexx Meerdink takes the place of Parrott and Denso Kasius has been the right back of the Alkmaarders for several weeks.
Kees Smit is missing due to a slight injury that he sustained in the match against PEC Zwolle (2-2). After the yellow card he received, he suffered a slight injury. In recent days, Smit was also missing during the training of the Alkmaarders. However, it is expected that he will be briefly out of circulation.
The NEC – AZ match starts at 12.15 pm. NH Sport is there and keeps you informed. Later this afternoon Telstar will receive Go Ahead Eagles in his own house.
