Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to that hosts another battle between NAC Breda and Heracles Almelo.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Heracles Almelo that had 233 games and scored 284 goals.
  • 7' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Dario Van den Buijs.
  • 12' The travelling Heracles Almelo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 17' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 21' What a strike from Luka Ilic! The score is 1-0.
  • 26' NAC Breda are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 28' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Mohammed Osman.
  • 29' Anouar Kali is having his name booked by the referee on 29.
  • 34' NAC Breda have won 74 goals from 103 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 39' NAC Breda are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Heracles Almelo backline.
  • 41' The Heracles Almelo bench stirs into life. Maximilian Rossmann is withdrawn and Stephen Sama gets his opportunity.
  • 46' Time for substitution for Heracles Almelo. Jesper Drost is replaced by Adrian Dalmau.
  • 51' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Frank Wormuth will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 56' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 58' Fresh legs for NAC Breda! Giovanni Korte comes on to replace Luka Ilic.
  • 60' What composure from Brandley Kuwas! The Curacao international strokes it home. 1-1.

  • 69' Fresh legs for NAC Breda! Arno Verschueren comes on to replace Marwin Reuvers.
  • 74' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 79' Heracles Almelo 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.
  • 84' Stephen Sama has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 233 appearances.
  • 88' Against the run of play, Mitchell te Vrede has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 89' Vincent Vermeij is ready to make an impact after coming on for Dario Van den Buijs at the 89 minute mark.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
