Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between NEC and RKC Waalwijk is underway.
  • 5' Sontje Hansen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 8' Basar Onal has so much to prove this time. He replaces Bram Nuytinck on 8 minute.
  • 13' NEC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 13.
  • 18' Liam van Gelderen needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 23' 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.
  • 28' It looks surprising NEC does not make any changes. Lars Olden Larsen has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 33' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 38' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 43' 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 Thomas Ouwejan suffering a number of foals already.
  • 46' Kodai Sano puts NEC on the lead.
  • 51' NEC is showing some good football. However, NEC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 56' The travelling RKC Waalwijk supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 60' It is a substitution in NEC team. Kento Shiogai is replaced by Bryan Linssen on 60 minute.
  • 61' The whistle greets Thomas Ouwejan as he departs to be replaced by Brayann Pereira.
  • 65' It’s a booking for NEC player. Sami Ouaissa gets a card.
  • 70' The supporters are chanting for Lars Olden Larsen. He replaces Sami Ouaissa on 70 minute.
  • 75' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 75 minutes.
  • 77' Denilho Cleonise is replacing Yassin Oukili for the RKC Waalwijk side.
  • 79' GOAL! Michiel Kramer scores on 79. Assisted by Mohammed Ihattaren
  • 84' RKC Waalwijk is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 85' The referee shows NEC player a card on 85.
  • 90' It is a substitution in RKC Waalwijk team. Tim van de Loo is replaced by Silvester van der Water on 90 minute.
