Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for NAC Breda to score. At the same time, VBV De Graafschap does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Mitchell te Vrede has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 32 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Luka Ilic made 93 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' 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 Leeroy Owusu suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Stef Nijland needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 35' The travelling VBV De Graafschap supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
