- 35' NAC Breda are deployed in a 4-3-1-2 today, looking to exploit space against NEC's 4-2-3-1 shape.
- 40' 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.
- 45' Poor challenge from Calvin Verdonk. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
