  • 10' The travelling PEC Zwolle supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' The home supporters are growing impatient. FC Groningen must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 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' It looks surprising FC Groningen does not make any changes. Kaj de Rooij has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' Nick Fichtinger has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 31' A moment of madness from Luciano Valente on 31 minutes earns him a card. FC Groningen will be frustrated.
  • 36' 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.
  • 41' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Olivier Aertssen. He replaces Sheral Floranus on 46 minute.
  • 51' Sheral Floranus has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 369 appearances.
  • 56' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Groningen is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 61' named a 4-2-2-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.

  • 69' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Stije Resink on 69 minutes.
  • 74' PEC Zwolle seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 75' Another substitution for FC Groningen to replace Jorg Schreuders by Rui Mendes on 75 minute.
  • 80' PEC Zwolle are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
