Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against FC Groningen and Willem II Tilburg has kicked off!
  • 5' Netherlands international Luciano Valente has been a key figure this campaign — 4 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
  • 10' The 26-year-old Thijs Oosting has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 20' Willem II Tilburg is showing some good football. However, Willem II Tilburg are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 25' Willem II Tilburg fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 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 Marco Rente suffering a number of foals already.
  • 32' GOAL! Thijs Oosting fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 37' Jorg Schreuders has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 3 cards already picked up this season.
  • 42' 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.
  • 47' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Groningen and Willem II Tilburg are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 52' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 55' The referee has no hesitation. Thom van Bergen is booked for FC Groningen — card on 55.
  • 59' Stije Resink doubles the advantage! 2-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 62' Boris Lambert has so much to prove this time. He replaces Amine Lachkar on 62 minute.
  • 66' The whistle greets Thom van Bergen as he departs to be replaced by Romano Postema.
  • 71' Jeremy Bokila is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Willem II Tilburg tonight.
  • 74' Luciano Valente makes way for Joey Pelupessy at the 74 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Groningen.
  • 79' Willem II Tilburg started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 79.
  • 84' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 86' Another substitution for Willem II Tilburg to replace Tommy St. Jago by Miodrag Pivas on 86 minute.
  • 90' Another change for FC Groningen made on 90 minute. Thijs Oosting leaves to be changed by Brynjolfur Darri Willumsson.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
