- 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
- 25' Mike Eerdhuijzen is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Fortuna Sittard so far.
- 30' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
