Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Euroborg that hosts another battle between FC Groningen and Fortuna Sittard.
  • 5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Groningen and Fortuna Sittard are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 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' Fortuna Sittard come into this ranked 8 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 30' It looks surprising Fortuna Sittard does not make any changes. Tijmen Blokzijl has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 33' It’s gonna be a card for Loreintz Rosier.
  • 38' Ezequiel Bullaude has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 43' 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 Ryan Fosso suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Alessio Da Cruz on 45.
  • 50' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 54' Jasper Dahlhaus picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 58' Fortuna Sittard manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kristoffer Peterson is hanging Alessio Da Cruz on the field on 58 minute.
  • 63' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 64' FC Groningen manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Marvin Peersman is hanging Wouter Prins on the field on 64 minute.
  • 68' The referee calls foul for Edouard Michut. He receives a card.
  • 73' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Dick Lukkien will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 78' Fortuna Sittard has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 83' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Syb Van Ottele made 176 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 85' Fortuna Sittard ring the changes. Ezequiel Bullaude has done his job and it is now time for Alen Halilovic to step up.
  • 87' A stunning finish from Brynjolfur Darri Willumsson — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Fortuna Sittard.
