Events

Match Events

  • 0' FC Utrecht have kicked off against NAC Breda. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 15' Gjivai Zechiel, a Netherlands midfielder, has 6 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 20' Lewis Holtby is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Utrecht so far.
  • 25' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Utrecht and NAC Breda are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 30' 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.
  • 33' Mohamed Nassoh picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 35' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Mohamed Nassoh on 35 minutes.
  • 40' It’s a booking for NAC Breda player. Max Balard gets a card.
  • 45' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both FC Utrecht and NAC Breda are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 50' Enes Mahmutovic has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 55' 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 Mike Eerdhuijzen suffering a number of foals already.
  • 60' FC Utrecht are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 65' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Utrecht that had 324 games and scored 444 goals.
  • 70' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 75' FC Utrecht currently sit 8 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 80' named a 4-3-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-4-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 82' NAC Breda receives a card for a hard tackle on 82.
  • 86' The Netherlands Dani de Wit breaks the deadlock on 86 minutes. 1-0!
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — FC Utrecht 2-0 NAC Breda.
