  • 0' KICK OFF: VBV De Graafschap gets underway.
  • 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' FC Groningen is showing some good football. However, FC Groningen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' 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 Leeroy Owusu suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' VBV De Graafschap is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 30' 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.
  • 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' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 45' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 49' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Javier Vet.

  • 75' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
