Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Almere City FC host NEC — let the battle begin!
- 5' Almere City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 10' It looks surprising NEC does not make any changes. Thomas Ouwejan has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 20' NEC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 25' Almere City FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined NEC backline.
- 30' Bram Nuytinck is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for NEC so far.
- 35' Lasse Schone, a Denmark , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 40' Poor challenge from Brayann Pereira. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 45' The referee shows Almere City FC player a card on 45.
- 46' The NEC bench stirs into life. Brayann Pereira is withdrawn and Calvin Verdonk gets his opportunity.
- 51' The travelling NEC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 56' 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.
- 58' Roberto Gonzalez is replacing Sami Ouaissa for the NEC side.
- 63' With 0 assists to his name this season, Basar Onal is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Almere City FC.
- 65' Fresh legs for Almere City FC! Alex Carbonell comes on to replace Anas Tahiri.
- 70' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 71' The supporters are chanting for Faiz Mattoir. He replaces Logan Delaurier-Chaubet on 71 minute.
- 76' The home supporters are growing impatient. Almere City FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
