- 5' Sem Steijn doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.

- 15' FC Twente \'65 come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Radinio Balker made 69 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' The 27-year-old Michal Sadilek has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

- 81' Time for substitution for FC Groningen. Elvis Manu is replaced by Aimar Sher.
- 86' FC Groningen is showing some good football. However, FC Groningen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
