- 9' Sean Klaiber is having his name booked by the referee on 9.
- 14' SBV Excelsior fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 19' Ali Messaoud has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 21' A moment of madness from Ryan Koolwijk on 21 minutes earns him a Yellow card. SBV Excelsior will be frustrated.
- 26' David Jensen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 31' Ryan Koolwijk has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 137 appearances.
- 36' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Dick Advocaat will be considering his options from the bench.
- 41' A quiet spell here at Stadion Galgenwaard. SBV Excelsior seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
