Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. NEC host Fortuna Sittard — let the battle begin!
  • 5' The travelling Fortuna Sittard supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 15' A quiet spell here at Stadion De Goffert. NEC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 25' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 30' Josip Mitrovic is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for NEC tonight.
  • 33' That is a card for Fortuna Sittard. Loreintz Rosier will be fuming at that decision.
  • 34' What a moment for Sami Ouaissa! That strike on 34 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 39' The France Loreintz Rosier breaks the deadlock on 39 minutes. 1-1!
  • 43' Controversy at the stadium! Ryan Fosso argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 45' Darijo Grujcic has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 45.
  • 50' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Fortuna Sittard that had 265 games and scored 303 goals.
  • 55' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 55 minutes.
  • 60' NEC currently sit 12 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 62' It is a substitution in NEC team. Mees Hoedemakers is replaced by Bryan Linssen on 62 minute.
  • 67' Fortuna Sittard have won 303 goals from 265 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 69' A goal from the Netherlands international Vito van Crooij! He fires home on 69 to make it 2-1!
  • 70' A meaty challenge results in booking for Alessio Da Cruz on 70.
  • 71' A goal from the Indonesia international Calvin Verdonk! He fires home on 71 to make it 3-1!
  • 75' Syb Van Ottele has so much to prove this time. He replaces Alen Halilovic on 75 minute.
  • 77' NEC ring the changes. Vito van Crooij has done his job and it is now time for Thomas Ouwejan to step up.
  • 80' The Fortuna Sittard bench stirs into life. Alessio Da Cruz is withdrawn and Edouard Michut gets his opportunity.
  • 82' Thomas Ouwejan makes no mistake. The score reads 4-1 and NEC are in front.
  • 86' A change in the NEC ranks — Koki Ogawa exits the field as Bram Nuytinck enters on 86.
  • The points are shared — NEC 4-1 Fortuna Sittard. Honours even.
