- 5' Vassilis Barkas has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 10' FC Utrecht is showing some good football. However, FC Utrecht are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.

- 30' NEC come into this ranked 13 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 35' Netherlands international Jens Toornstra has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Robin Roefs made 171 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 71' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 74' NEC receives a card for a hard tackle on 74.
- 75' Fresh legs for NEC! Mees Hoedemakers comes on to replace Sontje Hansen.
- 80' Souffian El Karouani has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 25 cards already picked up this season.
