Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. FC Utrecht kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' 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 Kamal Sowah suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 15' Alonzo Engwanda has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 20' Boy Kemper, a Netherlands , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' It’s high time Ron Jans made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 33' Mohamed Nassoh picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 35' It’s gonna be a card for Mohamed Nassoh.
  • 40' Max Balard has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 40.
  • 45' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 50' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ron Jans will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 55' Vassilis Barkas has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 60' The 36-year-old Andre Ayew has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 65' NAC Breda is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 70' Max Balard has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 208 appearances.
  • 75' A quiet spell here at Stadion Galgenwaard. NAC Breda seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 80' Supporters expect more eagerness from Mike Eerdhuijzen, as he is very good at scoring at Stadion Galgenwaard with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 82' The referee has no hesitation. Daniel Bielica is booked for NAC Breda — card on 82.
  • 86' GOAL! Dani de Wit scores on 86.
  • FC Utrecht celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
