  • 26' A meaty challenge results in booking for Tesfaldet Tekie on 26.
  • 28' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Jorgen Larsen makes it 0-2.
  • 33' It looks surprising Fortuna Sittard does not make any changes. Lisandro Semedo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 38' Fortuna Sittard 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.

  • 62' The FC Groningen bench stirs into life. Alessio Da Cruz is withdrawn and Gabriel Gudmundsson gets his opportunity.
  • 67' Tesfaldet Tekie, a Sweden , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 72' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 77' Tomas Suslov has been relatively quiet despite scoring 7 goals in his last 319 appearances.
  • 79' What a moment for Bart van Hintum! That strike on 79 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 84' FC Groningen fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 86' It is a substitution in FC Groningen team. Jorgen Larsen is replaced by Remco Balk on 86 minute.
