Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! FC Groningen vs Heracles Almelo — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' Bart van Hintum has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Noah Fadiga made 356 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 22' Nikolai Laursen makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Heracles Almelo are in front.
  • 27' Supporters expect more eagerness from Marco Rente, as he is very good at scoring at Euroborg with 3 goals in the last 3 games.
  • 32' 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 Cyril Ngonge suffering a number of foals already.
  • 37' 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.
  • 42' Over 42 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 45' It is a substitution in FC Groningen team. Mike te Wierik is replaced by Marin Sverko on 45 minute.
  • 46' The FC Groningen manager makes a substitution. Mo El Hankouri departs to be replaced by Paulos Abraham.
  • 51' Jorgen Larsen is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Heracles Almelo so far.
  • 56' FC Groningen are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Heracles Almelo backline.
  • 61' 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.
  • 66' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Danny Buijs will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 71' Sven Sonnenberg gets the nod from Heracles Almelo. He replaces Mats Knoester and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 74' Another change for FC Groningen made on 74 minute. Bart van Hintum leaves to be changed by Cyril Ngonge.
  • 78' A moment of madness from Noah Fadiga on 78 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Heracles Almelo will be frustrated.
  • 83' FC Groningen are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Heracles Almelo's shape.
  • 88' The Heracles Almelo bench stirs into life. Anas Ouahim is withdrawn and Emil Hansson gets his opportunity.
  • 90' Fresh legs for Heracles Almelo! Samuel Armenteros comes on to replace Sinan Bakis.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 0-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
