- 0' And we are off! Feyenoord Rotterdam vs FC Groningen — let the football do the talking.
- 5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Giovanni van Bronckhorst might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 7' Jens Toornstra adds to his 0 season tally! Feyenoord Rotterdam lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
- 12' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ahmad Mendes Moreira is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Groningen.
- 17' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Giovanni van Bronckhorst will be considering his options from the bench.
- 18' The referee has no hesitation. Tyrell Malacia is booked for Feyenoord Rotterdam — Yellow card on 18.
- 23' Over 23 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 28' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 33' FC Groningen seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 38' Feyenoord Rotterdam currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 39' Tim Handwerker is having his name booked by the referee on 39.
- 44' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Feyenoord Rotterdam needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 46' FC Groningen make a change. Mateo Casierra trudges off to be replaced by Ajdin Hrustic on 46 minutes.
- 49' FC Groningen receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 49.
- 54' The travelling FC Groningen supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 59' A quiet spell here at . FC Groningen seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 64' 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 Eric Botteghin suffering a number of foals already.
- 69' The Feyenoord Rotterdam bench stirs into life. Nicolai Jorgensen is withdrawn and Dylan Vente gets his opportunity.
- 74' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 79' Yassin Ayoub has so much to prove this time. He replaces Sam Larsson on 79 minute.
- 82' The FC Groningen manager makes a substitution. Ludovit Reis departs to be replaced by Ahmad Mendes Moreira.
- 86' Tim Freriks gets the nod from FC Groningen. He replaces Tim Handwerker and will look to change the dynamic.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Feyenoord Rotterdam players.
