Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Euroborg will turn into a battlefield for FC Groningen and NEC.
- 5' The travelling NEC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Younes Taha, as he is very good at scoring at Euroborg with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 15' It’s high time Dick Schreuder made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Groningen that had 307 games and scored 243 goals.
- 35' 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.
- 40' 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.
- 44' Tika de Jonge was booked on 44.
- 48' Marco Rente puts FC Groningen on the lead.
- 51' What a strike from Tygo Land! The score is 2-0.
- 56' FC Groningen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 61' It looks like no one’s ball. NEC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 66' That looks like a foul for a card for Bryan Linssen.
- 71' 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.
- 76' GOAL! Darko Nejasmic scores on 76. Assisted by Sami Ouaissa
- 81' 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 Thom van Bergen suffering a number of foals already.
- 83' What a strike from Basar Onal! The score is 2-2.
- 88' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 88 minutes.
- 90' FC Groningen receives a card for a hard tackle on 90.
- The final score is 2-1.
