Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Stadion Galgenwaard. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering NEC that had 171 games and scored 233 goals.
- 10' Can Bozdogan needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 1 Red cards this season.
- 15' FC Utrecht are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined NEC backline.
- 20' The travelling NEC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 22' The referee shows NEC player a card on 22.
- 27' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both FC Utrecht and NEC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 32' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 37' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Rogier Meijer will be considering his options from the bench.
- 42' That looks like a foul for a card for Can Bozdogan.
- 46' FC Utrecht manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ryan Flamingo is hanging Marouan Azarkan on the field on 46 minute.
- 51' Over 51 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 56' Netherlands international Sam Lammers has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 61' The Netherlands Sam Lammers breaks the deadlock on 61 minutes. 1-0!
- 66' 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 Philippe Sandler suffering a number of foals already.
- 71' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 72' Time for substitution for NEC. Sontje Hansen is replaced by Yvandro Borges Sanches.
- 77' Bart van Rooij has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 78' The whistle greets Lasse Schone as he departs to be replaced by Sylla Sow.
- 83' Niklas Vesterlund, a Denmark , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 85' Time for substitution for NEC. Calvin Verdonk is replaced by Lars Olden Larsen.
- 90' Poor challenge from Mike van der Hoorn. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- The final score is 1-0.
