  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' SBV Vitesse is showing some good football. However, SBV Vitesse are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 15' 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 Pena suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 28' What a strike from Yoann Cathline! The score is 1-0.
  • 33' It looks like no one’s ball. Almere City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
