Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against NEC and Heracles Almelo has kicked off!
  • 3' GOAL! Jizz Hornkamp fires home to make it 0-1!
  • 8' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 13' NEC have won 243 goals from 176 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 16' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Jordy Bruijn makes it 0-2.
  • 21' Both keepers have barely been tested. NEC and Heracles Almelo are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 26' NEC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 26.
  • 31' It’s high time Rogier Meijer made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 36' 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.
  • 41' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 46' Time for substitution for Heracles Almelo. Emil Hansson is replaced by Bryan Limbombe.
  • 50' It’s a booking for Heracles Almelo player. Sven Sonnenberg gets a Yellow card.
  • 51' Koki Ogawa has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 51 minutes.
  • 52' It’s a booking for NEC player. Sylla Sow gets a Yellow card.
  • 57' A tactical swap from Heracles Almelo — Anas Ouahim on, Marko Vejinovic off on 57 minutes.
  • 59' What an equalizer from Koki Ogawa!
  • 64' 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 Calvin Verdonk suffering a number of foals already.
  • 66' Tjaronn Chery doubles the advantage! 3-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 71' NEC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Heracles Almelo's 5-4-1 shape.
  • 76' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 80' Another substitution for NEC to replace Mees Hoedemakers by Yvandro Borges Sanches on 80 minute.
  • 84' The NEC bench stirs into life. Sontje Hansen is withdrawn and Sylla Sow gets his opportunity.
  • 89' The crowd applauds Tjaronn Chery as he leaves the pitch. Roberto Gonzalez steps in for NEC.
  • 90' Time for substitution for Heracles Almelo. Fredrik Oppegard is replaced by Jetro Willems.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from NEC to claim maximum points.
