Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Stadion De Goffert will turn into a battlefield for NEC and Almere City FC.
  • 3' NEC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Sami Ouaissa on 3.
  • 8' NEC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 13' 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.
  • 18' NEC 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.
  • 23' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kornelius Hansen, as he is very good at scoring at Stadion De Goffert with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 27' NEC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 32' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 37' 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 Junior Kadile suffering a number of foals already.
  • 38' The referee shows Almere City FC player a card on 38.
  • 43' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 45' What a strike from Ricardo Visus! The score is 1-1.
  • 50' Thomas Ouwejan has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 55' It looks surprising NEC does not make any changes. Jamie Lawrence has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 60' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Almere City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 61' NEC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Bram Nuytinck is hanging Philippe Sandler on the field on 61 minute.
  • 66' Basar Onal is replacing Sami Ouaissa for the NEC side.
  • 71' It looks like no one’s ball. Almere City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 74' What a strike from Hamdi Akujobi! The score is 1-2.
  • 76' Time for substitution for NEC. Ivan Marquez is replaced by Thomas Ouwejan.
  • 77' Time for substitution for NEC. Mees Hoedemakers is replaced by Lasse Schone.
  • 82' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering NEC that had 171 games and scored 233 goals.
  • 86' Another change for Almere City FC made on 86 minute. Thom Haye leaves to be changed by Alex Balboa.
  • 88' It’s a booking for Almere City FC player. Alex Balboa gets a card.
  • 89' The referee shows Almere City FC player a card on 89.
  • 90' The supporters are chanting for Damil Dankerlui. He replaces Vasilios Zagaritis on 90 minute.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
