Events

Match Events

0' Three points are at stake. Go Ahead Eagles host FC Groningen — let the battle begin!
5' Giovanni van Zwam, a Netherlands , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nils Eggens made 315 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
20' It looks like no one’s ball. Go Ahead Eagles is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
25' Alfons Sampsted is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Go Ahead Eagles so far.
30' FC Groningen come into this ranked 10 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
32' Brynjolfur Darri Willumsson puts FC Groningen on the lead.
37' Jacob Ondrejka has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
42' FC Groningen looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Brynjolfur Darri Willumsson scoring 1 goals.
47' FC Groningen fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
52' 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 Melle Meulensteen suffering a number of foals already.
57' Go Ahead Eagles is showing some good football. However, Go Ahead Eagles are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
60' Thibo Baeten is ready to make an impact after coming on for Alfons Sampsted at the 60 minute mark.
64' A tactical swap from FC Groningen — Jacob Ondrejka on, David van der Werff off on 64 minutes.
67' The whistle greets Evert Linthorst as he departs to be replaced by Yassir Salah Rahmouni.
70' FC Groningen manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Marco Rente is hanging Wouter Prins on the field on 70 minute.
75' Go Ahead Eagles are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
77' Pelle Clement makes way for Nils Eggens at the 77 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Groningen.
78' Another change for FC Groningen made on 78 minute. Brynjolfur Darri Willumsson leaves to be changed by Oskar Zawada.
79' Go Ahead Eagles manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Giovanni van Zwam is hanging Mathis Suray on the field on 79 minute.
82' Soren Tengstedt makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and Go Ahead Eagles are in front.
87' 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.
90' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Yassir Salah Rahmouni.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
