Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. SC Heerenveen get us underway at De Goffert.
- 5' 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.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 25' The home supporters are growing impatient. NEC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 30' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 35' Anas Tahiri is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for SC Heerenveen tonight.
- 40' Che Nunnely has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 45' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 50' Time for substitution for NEC. Tjaronn Chery is replaced by Lasse Schone.
- 55' Netherlands international Jasper Cillessen has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 60' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.

- 74' Another change for SC Heerenveen made on 74 minute. Pelle van Amersfoort leaves to be changed by Daniel Karlsbakk.

- 87' SC Heerenveen come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
