- 23' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 23 minutes.
- 28' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a 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.

- 65' Vito van Crooij makes no mistake. The score reads 3-0 and NEC are in front.
- 70' It looks like no one’s ball. SC Heerenveen is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

- 78' Luuk Brouwers picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
