Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. NEC is hosting NAC Breda for another epic battle.
  • 5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 10' 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 Brayann Pereira suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Raul Paula has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 25' NEC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 30' A quiet spell here at Stadion De Goffert. NAC Breda seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 31' Against the run of play, Brayann Pereira has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 36' NEC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined NAC Breda backline.
  • 41' Both keepers have barely been tested. NEC and NAC Breda are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 46' NEC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Bryan Linssen is hanging Kento Shiogai on the field on 46 minute.
  • 51' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both NEC and NAC Breda are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 56' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 61' 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.
  • 65' A tactical swap from NEC — Basar Onal on, Sontje Hansen off on 65 minutes.
  • 67' Bryan Linssen adds to his 1 season tally! NEC lead 2-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 70' The deadlock is broken! Bryan Linssen gets on the scoresheet on 70 minutes.
  • 75' Ivan Marquez has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 4 cards already picked up this season.
  • 76' NEC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Lasse Schone is hanging Lars Olden Larsen on the field on 76 minute.
  • 81' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 84' Fresh legs for NAC Breda! Lars Mol comes on to replace Fredrik Jensen.
  • 89' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kacper Kostorz made 117 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 90' The supporters are chanting for Yousri Sbai. He replaces Lasse Schone on 90 minute.
  • Full Time. NEC beats NAC Breda
