Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Euroborg. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' It looks surprising FC Groningen does not make any changes. Davy van den Berg has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 15' Tijmen Blokzijl needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 1 Red cards this season.

  • 25' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His FC Groningen side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 30' 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 Johan Hove suffering a number of foals already.
  • 31' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Luciano Valente on 31 minutes.
  • 36' 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.
  • 41' The home supporters are growing impatient. FC Groningen must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 46' The crowd applauds Sheral Floranus as he leaves the pitch. Olivier Aertssen steps in for PEC Zwolle.

  • 56' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 61' FC Groningen have won 243 goals from 307 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 66' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 69' Stije Resink picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 74' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 75' Rui Mendes gets the nod from FC Groningen. He replaces Jorg Schreuders and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 80' PEC Zwolle is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 82' A tactical swap from PEC Zwolle — Kaj de Rooij on, Odysseus Velanas off on 82 minutes.
