Events
Match Events
- 0' Temperatures are rising at Stadion De Goffert as NEC face off against RKC Waalwijk in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. NEC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 8' A tactical swap from NEC — Basar Onal on, Bram Nuytinck off on 8 minutes.
- 13' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Richard van der Venne made 180 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 18' Supporters expect more eagerness from Chris Lokesa, as he is very good at scoring at Stadion De Goffert with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 23' 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 Michiel Kramer suffering a number of foals already.
- 28' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both NEC and RKC Waalwijk are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 33' RKC Waalwijk started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 33.
- 38' The energy levels are beginning to show. Rogier Meijer might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 43' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering NEC that had 175 games and scored 240 goals.
- 46' Kodai Sano makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and NEC are in front.
- 51' Thomas Ouwejan has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 56' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 60' A change in the NEC ranks — Kento Shiogai exits the field as Bryan Linssen enters on 60.
- 61' The crowd applauds Thomas Ouwejan as he leaves the pitch. Brayann Pereira steps in for NEC.
- 65' That is a card for NEC. Sami Ouaissa will be fuming at that decision.
- 70' The NEC bench stirs into life. Sami Ouaissa is withdrawn and Lars Olden Larsen gets his opportunity.
- 75' Denilho Cleonise has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 418 appearances.
- 77' The whistle greets Yassin Oukili as he departs to be replaced by Denilho Cleonise.
- 79' A goal from the Netherlands international Michiel Kramer! He fires home on 79 to make it 1-1!
- 84' Over 84 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 85' That looks like a foul for a card for Philippe Sandler.
- 90' The supporters are chanting for Silvester van der Water. He replaces Tim van de Loo on 90 minute.
- The final score is 2-1.
