Events
Match Events

- 18' The referee shows SBV Vitesse player a Yellow card on 18.
- 23' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering NEC that had 171 games and scored 233 goals.
- 25' The referee has no hesitation. Marco van Ginkel is booked for SBV Vitesse — Yellow card on 25.
- 26' What a moment for Magnus Mattsson! That strike on 26 puts his side firmly in control.
- 30' Ramon Hendriks was booked on 30.
- 35' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both NEC and SBV Vitesse are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 40' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. NEC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 45' It’s a booking for NEC player. Bart van Rooij gets a Yellow card.
- 46' Fresh legs for SBV Vitesse! Enzo Cornelisse comes on to replace Marco van Ginkel.
- 51' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.

- 73' Mathias Ross has so much to prove this time. He replaces Philippe Sandler on 73 minute.
- 78' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
