  • 5' The 30-year-old Alen Halilovic has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 10' 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 Ivo Pinto suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Danny Buijs will be considering his options from the bench.

  • 58' Fortuna Sittard started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 58.
  • 59' Magnificent from Roberto Gonzalez! That is 9 goals in 364 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 64' NEC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
