Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. FC Groningen kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Fortuna Sittard looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Lequincio Zeefuik scoring 1 goals.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Neraysho Kasanwirjo made 492 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 17' A meaty challenge results in booking for Inigo Cordoba on 17.
- 22' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 27' It looks like no one’s ball. Fortuna Sittard is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

- 37' George Cox, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 42' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 45' What a moment for Ricardo Pepi! That strike on 45 puts his side firmly in control.
- 48' Time for substitution for Fortuna Sittard. Remy Vita is replaced by Tijjani Noslin.

- 50' Tijjani Noslin has so much to prove this time. He replaces Remy Vita on 50 minute.
- 55' FC Groningen are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.

- 78' Against the run of play, Paul Gladon has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 83' Fortuna Sittard have won 323 goals from 277 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
