- 0' We are underway at Rat Verlegh Stadion. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 4' A stunning finish from Elias Mar Omarsson — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 9' 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.
- 10' Another substitution for NAC Breda to replace Boy Kemper by Terence Kongolo on 10 minute.
- 15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 20' Heracles Almelo are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 30' NAC Breda have won 74 goals from 103 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 35' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 40' The travelling Heracles Almelo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 45' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 45 minutes.
- 50' Both keepers have barely been tested. NAC Breda and Heracles Almelo are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 54' Magnificent from Juho Talvitie! That is 5 goals in 233 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 59' It looks surprising NAC Breda does not make any changes. Jannes Wieckhoff has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 62' Shiloh 't Zand has so much to prove this time. He replaces Thomas Bruns on 62 minute.
- 64' Another change for NAC Breda made on 64 minute. Adam Kaied leaves to be changed by Clint Leemans.
- 69' NAC Breda started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 69.
- 71' It’s gonna be a card for Leo Greiml.
- 72' It is a substitution in Heracles Almelo team. Suf Podgoreanu is replaced by Bryan Limbombe on 72 minute.
- 77' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 82' Time for substitution for NAC Breda. Leo Sauer is replaced by Roy Kuijpers.
- 87' Fabian de Keijzer is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Heracles Almelo so far.
