- 29' Willem II Tilburg is showing some good football. However, Willem II Tilburg are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 41' What a strike from Cisse Sandra! The score is 0-2.
- 46' David Wolfe has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mees De Wit on 46 minute.
- 51' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
