Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at De Grolsch Veste. Ninety minutes of football awaits between FC Twente \'65 and NEC.
- 5' 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.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sem Steijn made 171 appearances and scored 52 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' With 0 assists to his name this season, Brayann Pereira is clearly more than just a goal scorer for NEC.
- 19' A goal from the Netherlands international Bas Kuipers! He fires home on 19 to make it 0-1!
- 24' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 29' It looks surprising FC Twente \'65 does not make any changes. Calvin Verdonk has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 34' NEC 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.
- 39' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Twente \'65 that had 242 games and scored 388 goals.
- 44' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 49' 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 Daan Rots suffering a number of foals already.
- 54' It looks like no one’s ball. NEC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 55' Controversy at the stadium! Michal Sadilek argues furiously but the card stands.
- 57' NEC receives a card for a hard tackle on 57.
- 62' A tactical swap from FC Twente '65 — Mathias Kjolo on, Michel Vlap off on 62 minutes.
- 65' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Bryan Linssen.
- 68' The whistle greets Sem Steijn as he departs to be replaced by Arno Verschueren.
- 69' Time for substitution for NEC. Sami Ouaissa is replaced by Koki Ogawa.
- 74' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 76' A tactical swap from NEC — Lasse Schone on, Thomas Ouwejan off on 76 minutes.
- 80' Goal! Bas Kuipers scores his 13 goal in 95 matches.
- 84' It is a substitution in NEC team. Bryan Linssen is replaced by Basar Onal on 84 minute.
- 89' The travelling NEC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 90' Fresh legs for FC Twente '65! Gijs Besselink comes on to replace Michal Sadilek.
- Another three points for FC Twente \'65.
