Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Rat Verlegh Stadion!
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Daniel Bielica made 6 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. NAC Breda and FC Groningen are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 20' With 0 assists to his name this season, Dave Kwakman is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Groningen.
- 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Groningen that had 307 games and scored 243 goals.
- 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 35' NAC Breda 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.
- 40' It looks like no one’s ball. NAC Breda is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 45' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Boyd Lucassen.
- 46' Time for substitution for NAC Breda. Boyd Lucassen is replaced by Fredrik Jensen.
- 51' FC Groningen are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 54' A goal from the Netherlands international Mats Seuntjens! He fires home on 54 to make it 0-1!
- 59' 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 Stije Resink suffering a number of foals already.
- 64' The crowd applauds Sydney van Hooijdonk as he leaves the pitch. Elias Mar Omarsson steps in for NAC Breda.
- 67' Fresh legs for FC Groningen! Brynjolfur Darri Willumsson comes on to replace Mats Seuntjens.

- 82' Controversy at the stadium! Tika de Jonge argues furiously but the card stands.
- 82' Time for substitution for FC Groningen. Dave Kwakman is replaced by Jorg Schreuders.
- 87' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 87 minutes.
- 88' Kacper Kostorz is ready to make an impact after coming on for Max Balard at the 88 minute mark.
- 89' Marvin Peersman has so much to prove this time. He replaces Luciano Valente on 89 minute.
- 90' Kamal Sowah is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
- 90' Another change for FC Groningen made on 90 minute. Thom van Bergen leaves to be changed by Romano Postema.
