Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Fortuna Sittard Stadion!
  • 5' Netherlands international Thijs Oosting has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
  • 10' Tika de Jonge has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 20' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 25' Controversy at the stadium! Makan Aiko argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 30' The travelling FC Groningen supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 35' The referee calls foul for Leandro Bacuna. He receives a card.
  • 40' Mattijs Branderhorst is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Fortuna Sittard so far.
  • 45' 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 Mitchell Dijks suffering a number of foals already.
  • 46' The whistle greets Makan Aiko as he departs to be replaced by Kristoffer Peterson.
  • 51' Over 51 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 56' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 61' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 66' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ivo Pinto, as he is very good at scoring at Fortuna Sittard Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 67' Brynjolfur Darri Willumsson is replacing Romano Postema for the FC Groningen side.
  • 68' Alessio Da Cruz is replacing Mitchell Dijks for the Fortuna Sittard side.
  • 72' That looks like a foul for a card for Marvin Peersman.
  • 77' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 79' Rui Mendes is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jorg Schreuders at the 79 minute mark.
  • 81' Fresh legs for Fortuna Sittard! Syb Van Ottele comes on to replace Ryan Fosso.
  • 86' The Curacao Leandro Bacuna breaks the deadlock on 86 minutes. 0-1!
  • 88' That looks like a foul for a card for Marco Rente.
  • 89' Thijs Oosting is replacing Wouter Prins for the FC Groningen side.
  • It finishes all square. Fortuna Sittard and FC Groningen share the spoils 1-0.
