Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — NEC and RKC Waalwijk get this one started.
  • 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jeroen Houwen, as he is very good at scoring at Stadion De Goffert with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 8' NEC ring the changes. Bram Nuytinck has done his job and it is now time for Basar Onal to step up.
  • 13' It’s high time Henk Fraser made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 18' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mohammed Ihattaren made 444 appearances and scored 16 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 23' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. RKC Waalwijk needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 28' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 33' The travelling RKC Waalwijk supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 38' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 43' It looks surprising NEC does not make any changes. Kento Shiogai has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 46' A stunning finish from Kodai Sano — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 51' Lefteris Lyratzis is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for RKC Waalwijk tonight.
  • 56' Robin Roefs has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 60' A change in the NEC ranks — Kento Shiogai exits the field as Bryan Linssen enters on 60.
  • 61' Brayann Pereira is ready to make an impact after coming on for Thomas Ouwejan at the 61 minute mark.
  • 65' That is a card for NEC. Sami Ouaissa will be fuming at that decision.
  • 70' A change in the NEC ranks — Sami Ouaissa exits the field as Lars Olden Larsen enters on 70.
  • 75' Over 75 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 77' Another substitution for RKC Waalwijk to replace Yassin Oukili by Denilho Cleonise on 77 minute.
  • 79' Michiel Kramer makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and RKC Waalwijk are in front.
  • 84' 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.
  • 85' The referee has no hesitation. Philippe Sandler is booked for NEC — card on 85.
  • 90' Another change for RKC Waalwijk made on 90 minute. Tim van de Loo leaves to be changed by Silvester van der Water.
  • 2-1 the final result. RKC Waalwijk will be bitterly disappointed.
