Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Fortuna Sittard Stadion. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Fortuna Sittard and NEC.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' Fortuna Sittard are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined NEC backline.
  • 25' Fortuna Sittard are deployed in a 4-1-4-1 today, looking to exploit space against NEC's 4-2-3-1 shape.
  • 30' 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 Rodrigo Guth suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' The deadlock is broken! Koki Ogawa gets on the scoresheet on 35 minutes.
  • 40' Roberto Gonzalez makes no mistake. The score reads 0-2 and NEC are in front.
  • 45' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 50' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 55' Dirk Proper needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 60' The energy levels are beginning to show. Rogier Meijer might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 65' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 70' NEC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 75' Fortuna Sittard currently sit 5 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 80' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Fortuna Sittard and NEC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 85' It looks surprising NEC does not make any changes. Ivan Marquez has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 88' Sami Ouaissa doubles the advantage! 0-3 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • With this win, NEC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
