Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Fortuna Sittard kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. VBV De Graafschap needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' Alexei Coselev has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 25' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 30' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 35' VBV De Graafschap is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 38' Fortuna Sittard is taking the lead after the goal scored by Lazaros Lamprou on 38.
  • 39' Jose Rodriguez is having his name booked by the referee on 39.
  • 44' 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.
  • 46' A meaty challenge results in booking for Robert Klaasen on 46.
  • 50' Goal! Youssef Jebli scores his 11 goal in 35 matches.
  • 55' It looks surprising VBV De Graafschap does not make any changes. Mark Diemers has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 60' VBV De Graafschap 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.
  • 61' Fortuna Sittard manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Andre Vidigal is hanging Lisandro Semedo on the field on 61 minute.
  • 66' 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 Alessandro Ciranni suffering a number of foals already.
  • 71' Fortuna Sittard is showing some good football. However, Fortuna Sittard are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 76' It’s a booking for VBV De Graafschap player. Sven Nieuwpoort gets a Yellow card.
  • 81' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Bart Straalman made 35 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 83' What a strike from Lazaros Lamprou! The score is 2-1.
  • 85' VBV De Graafschap manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Stef Nijland is hanging Frank Olijve on the field on 85 minute.
  • 87' The whistle greets Lazaros Lamprou as he departs to be replaced by Jorrit Smeets.
  • 88' Goal! Branislav Ninaj scores his 4 goal in 265 matches.
  • 90' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Branislav Ninaj.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for VBV De Graafschap.
