- 0' The game is set. RKC Waalwijk kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' Michael Verrips has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 14' Ricardo Pepi has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 14 minutes.
- 19' 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 Jurien Gaari suffering a number of foals already.

- 59' Ragnar Oratmangoen has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 0 appearances.
- 64' DR Congo international Thierry Lutonda has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
