Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. NAC Breda host Willem II Tilburg — let the battle begin!
- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 15' Nick Doodeman has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 20' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 24' Elias Mar Omarsson makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and NAC Breda are in front.
- 29' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 34' The travelling Willem II Tilburg supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 39' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Willem II Tilburg that had 175 games and scored 224 goals.
- 42' NAC Breda receives a card for a hard tackle on 42.
- 46' Magnificent from Raffael Behounek! That is 3 goals in 175 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 46' Another substitution for Willem II Tilburg to replace Tommy St. Jago by Jens Mathijsen on 46 minute.
- 51' NAC Breda are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Willem II Tilburg backline.
- 56' Willem II Tilburg started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 56.
- 61' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both NAC Breda and Willem II Tilburg are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 64' The crowd applauds Dominik Janosek as he leaves the pitch. Sana Fernandes steps in for NAC Breda.
- 69' NAC Breda are deployed in a 4-3-3 today, looking to exploit space against Willem II Tilburg's 4-3-3 shape.
- 73' The Willem II Tilburg bench stirs into life. Ringo Meerveld is withdrawn and Dennis Kaygin gets his opportunity.
- 75' NAC Breda ring the changes. Elias Mar Omarsson has done his job and it is now time for Sydney van Hooijdonk to step up.
- 80' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Miodrag Pivas made 175 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 82' A moment of madness from Sana Fernandes on 82 minutes earns him a card. NAC Breda will be frustrated.
- 85' Willem II Tilburg manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Miodrag Pivas is hanging Boris Lambert on the field on 85 minute.
- 86' Time for substitution for NAC Breda. Leo Sauer is replaced by Raul Paula.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
