Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! NEC welcome FC Groningen for this crunch clash at Stadion De Goffert.
  • 5' Controversy at the stadium! Marvin Peersman argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 6' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Koki Ogawa makes no mistake. 1-0!
  • 11' 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 Thom van Bergen suffering a number of foals already.
  • 16' Over 16 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 21' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Groningen that had 318 games and scored 268 goals.
  • 26' Brilliant from the forward! Koki Ogawa makes it 2-0 with a superb finish on 26.
  • 31' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Groningen is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 32' Magnificent from Sontje Hansen! That is 12 goals in 491 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 36' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jorg Schreuders on 36.
  • 41' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 43' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Luciano Valente.
  • 46' The NEC bench stirs into life. Philippe Sandler is withdrawn and Thomas Ouwejan gets his opportunity.
  • 48' Another substitution for FC Groningen to replace Tika de Jonge by Stije Resink on 48 minute.
  • 52' GOAL! Vito van Crooij scores on 52. Assisted by Koki Ogawa
  • 57' FC Groningen is showing some good football. However, FC Groningen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 61' A tactical swap from NEC — Basar Onal on, Sontje Hansen off on 61 minutes.
  • 66' Sami Ouaissa gets the nod from NEC. He replaces Vito van Crooij and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 68' Time for substitution for FC Groningen. Jorg Schreuders is replaced by Romano Postema.
  • 69' Controversy at the stadium! Calvin Verdonk argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 74' What composure from Sami Ouaissa! The Netherlands international strokes it home. 5-0.
  • 76' Thijs Oosting gets the nod from FC Groningen. He replaces Brynjolfur Darri Willumsson and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 79' NEC make a change. Koki Ogawa trudges off to be replaced by Kento Shiogai on 79 minutes.
  • 82' FC Groningen manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Rui Mendes is hanging Luciano Valente on the field on 82 minute.
  • 86' GOAL! Thomas Ouwejan fires home to make it 6-0!
