1-0
What a goal from the foot of Othman Boussaid!
It is a goal that does not fit in this game at all, but that does not make it any less beautiful.
The substitute takes the ball from the edge of the penalty area in one go on the slipper and shoots the ball behind Sparta goalkeeper Okoye.

Feyenoord-AZ · in 2 days
No changes at AZ
Just as with the team from Rotterdam, we also see no changes at the Alkmaarders compared to the last Eredivisie game (2-1 win against ADO).
That means that Zakaria Aboukhlal, who was important in the victory over the Hagenaars with two goals, has to settle for a role as a reserve player again.
Setup AZ:
Bizot;
Sugawara, Hatzidiakos, Martins Indi, Wijndal;
Midtsjø, Stengs, Koopmeiners;
Gudmundsson, Boadu, Karlsson.
Feyenoord-AZ · in 2 days
Feyenoord starts with Haps as attacker
Dick Advocaat has a reasonably fit selection and starts against AZ with the same eleven names as in the Classic.
That means that Nicolai Jørgensen in the striker is preferred to winter gain Lucas Pratto and Ridgeciano Haps starts as an winger against the Alkmaarders.
Luis Sinisterra can play less than ninety minutes and starts on the bench.
Line-up Feyenoord:
Marsman;
Geertruida, Spajic, Senesi, Malacia;
Fer, Diemers, Toornstra;
Berghuis, Jørgensen, Haps.

The better chances in Stadium Galgenwaard belong to FC Utrecht, but the score is still in balance: 0-0.

Peace!
With Georgios Giakoumakis (16 goals) and Danilo (11 goals) there are two players on the field who can easily find the net this season, but at half time it is still really 0-0 in Enschede.

In De Galgenwaard we see the same game image as in the Grolsch Veste.
The home team is much stronger, but leaves the chances to take the lead.
For the time being, the visitors limit themselves to defending.

Twente is lord and master in-house in the first quarter of the match.
The tukkers could have opened the score for a long time, but especially with Danilo, scoring is no longer as easy as before the winter break.
On the other hand, Giakoumakis has not yet been deployed.

The FC Twente players gave their teammate Vaclav Carný a heart during the warm-up.

Kick-off!
The ball rolls at FC Twente-VVV-Venlo and FC Utrecht-Sparta Rotterdam.
These are all teams from the extensive middle bracket, so points count as good as double today.
Fortuna Sittard-Ajax · in 2 days
Difficult victory brings Ajax back three points
Thanks to an extremely difficult 1-2 victory at Fortuna Sittard, Ajax is again three points ahead of the Eredivisie.
The team from Amsterdam face a lot of opposition from the Limburgers, but are lucky to take the lead with an own goal from Sebastian Polter.
Shortly after the break, Fortuna comes to the same level via Mickaël Tirpan.
After a goal from Zakaria Labyad is rejected for hands, Sébastien Haller makes the winning goal after more than an hour.
In the final phase Ajax still misses big opportunities from the counter and Polter still gets red.

Red card Fortuna Sittard!
Sebastian Polter's disaster week is complete.
Perhaps out of frustration, the striker puts his studs in Edson Álvarez's back of the knee.
Referee Dennis Higler initially gives yellow, but changes it after looking back to red.

89 'The number of opportunities that Ajax is missing is really staggering.
Neres is released via Haller and Klaassen, but he does not shoot the ball enough in the corner.
Tagliafico is then too late for the rebound.

86 'Ajax can with no less than five men in the counter after losing the ball by Fortuna, but the team from Amsterdam is certainly not playing the best match of the season and are also unable to finish it now.
The Ten Hag team makes it unnecessarily difficult for itself, but still seems to be leaving Sittard with three points.

With a price tag of 22.5 million euros, you are expected to be there immediately, and Sébastien Haller shows that this certainly applies to him.
In his first four matches for Ajax, he is good for a goal or assist every game.
4 - Sébastien Haller is the second player to score or assist a goal in each of his first four Eredivisie games for @AFCAjax this century, after Kolbeinn Sigþórsson.

However, this goal by (the just visible) Sébastien Haller does count, so Ajax still has the lead.
However, it remains minimal, so the Amsterdammers have to be careful.

Zakaria Labyad works the ball in, but does so by hand and so the goal will not count.

66 'The players of Fortuna Sittard are angry with the arbitration, because Lisandro Semedo went to the ground shortly before Haller's goal.
However, the home team has little right to speak, because the football itself initially continued while Semedo was on the ground.
The replay also shows that there was really nothing wrong in the duel between Semedo and Gravenberch.
The VAR also comes to that conclusion and that is why this goal from Ajax simply counts.

Again, the attempt is straight for the keeper and so Van Osch can bring it to the rescue.

1-1
The home team comes out of half time very well and finally punishes the laconic defense of Ajax.
The fast and agile Lisandro Semedo easily turns away from Nicolás Tagliafico and lays wide in front of right back Mickaël Tirpan, who has no problems shooting the ball against the ropes.

Can the teams create so many opportunities again in the second half and take advantage of a few?
