Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Yanmar Stadion!
- 5' It looks surprising NEC does not make any changes. Vasilios Zagaritis has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' Kento Shiogai has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 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' Kodai Sano needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 8 Yellow cards this season.
- 25' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 30' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Almere City FC and NEC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 35' Thomas Ouwejan, a Netherlands defender, has 11 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 40' NEC player sees a card in front of him.
- 45' That is a card for Almere City FC. Thom Haye will be fuming at that decision.
- 46' Fresh legs for NEC! Calvin Verdonk comes on to replace Brayann Pereira.
- 51' NEC have won 257 goals from 186 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 56' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 58' The NEC manager makes a substitution. Sami Ouaissa departs to be replaced by Roberto Gonzalez.
- 63' It’s high time Hedwiges Maduro made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 65' The crowd applauds Anas Tahiri as he leaves the pitch. Alex Carbonell steps in for Almere City FC.
- 70' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jochem Ritmeester van de Kamp suffering a number of foals already.
- 71' The Almere City FC bench stirs into life. Logan Delaurier-Chaubet is withdrawn and Faiz Mattoir gets his opportunity.
- 76' A quiet spell here at Yanmar Stadion. Almere City FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 79' What composure from Thomas Ouwejan! The Netherlands international strokes it home. 0-1.
- 83' The supporters are chanting for Kento Shiogai. He replaces Kodai Sano on 83 minute.
- 85' Another substitution for Almere City FC to replace Hamdi Akujobi by Joey Jacobs on 85 minute.
- 86' Damil Dankerlui is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jochem Ritmeester van de Kamp at the 86 minute mark.
- Game over. The scoreline of 1-0 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
