Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Heracles Almelo and RKC Waalwijk get this one started.
  • 5' Noah Fadiga has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' The travelling RKC Waalwijk supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 20' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 23' The referee shows RKC Waalwijk player a Yellow card on 23.
  • 24' Jurien Gaari is having his name booked by the referee on 24.
  • 29' 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 Dario Van den Buijs suffering a number of foals already.
  • 34' Giacomo Quagliata has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 233 appearances.
  • 39' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Joseph Oosting will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 44' Heracles Almelo are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against RKC Waalwijk's shape.

  • 70' Mateo Les has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mats Knoester on 70 minute.
  • 71' Finn Stokkers gets the nod from RKC Waalwijk. He replaces Iiass Bel Hassani and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 76' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
