Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. FC Groningen kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 10' Bjorn Meijer is a natural defender and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Groningen tonight.
  • 15' Damil Dankerlui has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 177 appearances.
  • 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 25' Fortuna Sittard come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 30' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Fortuna Sittard winning 100% of all matches.
  • 35' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 40' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Groningen and Fortuna Sittard are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 45' The energy levels are beginning to show. Danny Buijs might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 50' 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.
  • 55' 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.
  • 60' The referee has no hesitation. Roel Janssen is booked for Fortuna Sittard — Yellow card on 60.
  • 61' Roel Janssen picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 66' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Groningen needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 68' The crowd applauds Charlison Benschop as he leaves the pitch. Lisandro Semedo steps in for Fortuna Sittard.
  • 73' 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 Mike te Wierik suffering a number of foals already.
  • 74' It is a substitution in FC Groningen team. Michael de Leeuw is replaced by Cyril Ngonge on 74 minute.
  • 79' FC Groningen seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 80' Another change for Fortuna Sittard made on 80 minute. Roel Janssen leaves to be changed by Nigel Lonwijk.
  • 82' A stunning finish from Dimitrios Siovas — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 84' It is a substitution in FC Groningen team. Damil Dankerlui is replaced by Romano Postema on 84 minute.
  • 87' Tomas Suslov has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 87.
  • 89' A change in the FC Groningen ranks — Mike te Wierik exits the field as Daleho Irandust enters on 89.
  • 90' Fortuna Sittard manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Paul Gladon is hanging Mats Seuntjens on the field on 90 minute.
  • 90' Neraysho Kasanwirjo has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 90.
  • The points are shared — FC Groningen 0-1 Fortuna Sittard. Honours even.
