- 40' VVV Venlo started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.
- 45' VVV Venlo is showing some good football. However, VVV Venlo are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 90' 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 Joris van Overeem suffering a number of foals already.
- Another three points for FC Utrecht.
