- 10' Robin Propper has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Groningen and Heracles Almelo are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 20' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both FC Groningen and Heracles Almelo are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 29' Silvester van der Water has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 29 minutes.
- 34' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 39' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Heracles Almelo that had 233 games and scored 284 goals.
- 44' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 45' Amir Absalem catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 45.
