- 0' The wait is over. NEC get us underway at Fortuna Sittard Stadion.

- 26' What composure from Elayis Tavsan! The Netherlands international strokes it home. 0-2.
- 31' 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 Tesfaldet Tekie suffering a number of foals already.
- 34' GOAL! Mats Seuntjens scores on 34.
- 35' Another substitution for Fortuna Sittard to replace Richie Musaba by Tijjani Noslin on 35 minute.

- 62' Fortuna Sittard are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 67' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Cas Odenthal made 171 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 72' The whistle greets Martin Angha as he departs to be replaced by Toshio Lake.
- 77' Fortuna Sittard currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
