Events
Match Events

- 25' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 30' FC Groningen are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined SC Heerenveen backline.
- 35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Dave Kwakman, as he is very good at scoring at Euroborg with 1 goals in the last 1 games.

- 45' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His FC Groningen side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 50' FC Groningen are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.

- 58' The SC Heerenveen manager makes a substitution. Dimitris Rallis departs to be replaced by Milos Lukovic.
- 62' It is a substitution in FC Groningen team. Wouter Prins is replaced by Marvin Peersman on 62 minute.
- 63' A stunning finish from Luciano Valente — that came from absolutely nowhere!

- 85' Another substitution for SC Heerenveen to replace Sam Kersten by Jordy de Wijs on 85 minute.

- Another three points for FC Groningen.
