Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! NEC welcome Almere City FC for this crunch clash at De Goffert.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 15' Rajiv van La Parra has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Peer Koopmeiners.
  • 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 26' Controversy at the stadium! Bart van Rooij argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 31' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. NEC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 35' Yann Kitala makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Almere City FC are in front.
  • 40' NEC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Almere City FC backline.
  • 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Lasse Schone made 480 appearances and scored 17 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 50' Over 50 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 55' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 57' NEC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Elayis Tavsan is hanging Roberto Gonzalez on the field on 57 minute.
  • 62' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 62 minutes.
  • 67' Lasse Schone makes way for Koki Ogawa at the 67 minute mark. A tactical switch from NEC.
  • 69' What an equalizer from Magnus Mattsson!
  • 73' Bart van Rooij is having his name booked by the referee on 73.
  • 76' Youri Baas is replacing Calvin Verdonk for the NEC side.
  • 81' Fresh legs for Almere City FC! Yoann Cathline comes on to replace Manel Royo.
  • 82' Yoann Cathline is replacing Manel Royo for the Almere City FC side.
  • 87' 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 Joey Jacobs suffering a number of foals already.
  • 88' Rajiv van La Parra makes way for Lance Duijvestijn at the 88 minute mark. A tactical switch from Almere City FC.
  • 90' Kornelius Hansen was booked on 90.
  • 1-1 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
