Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. NEC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Heracles Almelo side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 10' Vito van Crooij has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Brayann Pereira, as he is very good at scoring at Erve Asito with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. NEC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' The travelling NEC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 35' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Rogier Meijer will be considering his options from the bench.
- 40' The home supporters are growing impatient. Heracles Almelo must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 45' Heracles Almelo currently sit 14 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 47' Goal! Sem Scheperman scores his 1 goal in 233 matches.
- 52' It looks surprising NEC does not make any changes. Ivan Marquez has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 60' Bryan Linssen has been relatively quiet despite scoring 67 goals in his last 282 appearances.

- 63' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Basar Onal makes it 1-2.
- 67' Heracles Almelo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Luka Kulenovic is hanging Brian De Keersmaecker on the field on 67 minute.
- 71' Jannes Wieckhoff gets the nod from Heracles Almelo. He replaces Thomas Bruns and will look to change the dynamic.
- 76' The energy levels are beginning to show. Rogier Meijer might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 78' It’s a booking for NEC player. Sami Ouaissa gets a card.
- 81' Bryan Linssen makes way for Kento Shiogai at the 81 minute mark. A tactical switch from NEC.
- 86' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 86 minutes.
- 89' NEC ring the changes. Sami Ouaissa has done his job and it is now time for Lars Olden Larsen to step up.
