Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Stadion Galgenwaard will turn into a battlefield for FC Utrecht and NAC Breda.
- 5' NAC Breda looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Utrecht that had 307 games and scored 349 goals.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 20' The travelling NAC Breda supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 25' NAC Breda started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
- 30' It looks surprising FC Utrecht does not make any changes. Mike Eerdhuijzen has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 33' The referee shows NAC Breda player a card on 33.
- 35' It’s a booking for NAC Breda player. Mohamed Nassoh gets a card.
- 40' It’s a booking for NAC Breda player. Max Balard gets a card.
- 45' It’s high time Ron Jans made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 50' FC Utrecht 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.
- 55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mike van der Hoorn made 375 appearances and scored 15 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 60' 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.
- 65' 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.
- 70' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 70 minutes.
- 75' NAC Breda is showing some good football. However, NAC Breda are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 80' 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 Cherrion Valerius suffering a number of foals already.
- 82' It’s gonna be a card for Daniel Bielica.
- 86' Goal! Dani de Wit scores his 33 goal in 469 matches.
- With this win, FC Utrecht is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
