- 15' NAC Breda are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Fortuna Sittard backline.
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. NAC Breda is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

- 30' Ivo Pinto has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.

- 51' 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.
- 56' 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.

- 78' Ryan Fosso picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

- 85' Kacper Kostorz does the damage! The net is bulging and NAC Breda surge ahead!
