Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: NEC gets underway.
- 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 10' Kwasi Okyere Wriedt has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 20 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 15' It’s a booking for Willem II Tilburg player. Jorn Brondeel gets a Red card.
- 17' The supporters are chanting for Connor van den Berg. He replaces Gorkem Saglam on 17 minute.
- 22' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 27' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 32' 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.
- 37' Willem II Tilburg are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 42' Che Nunnely has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 46' Another substitution for Willem II Tilburg to replace Kwasi Okyere Wriedt by Nikolaos Michelis on 46 minute.
- 51' 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.
- 54' Willem II Tilburg make a change. Derrick Kohn trudges off to be replaced by Max Svensson on 54 minutes.
- 59' Controversy at the stadium! Ulrik Jenssen argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 60' NEC ring the changes. Jordy Bruijn has done his job and it is now time for Elayis Tavsan to step up.
- 61' Magnus Mattsson gets the nod from NEC. He replaces Mikkel Duelund and will look to change the dynamic.
- 64' Willem II Tilburg receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 64.
- 68' Another substitution for Willem II Tilburg to replace Mats Kohlert by Emil Bergstrom on 68 minute.
- 71' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Elayis Tavsan.
- 76' Ivan Marquez needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 4 Red cards this season.
- 79' NEC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ole Romeny is hanging Dirk Proper on the field on 79 minute.
- 84' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 89' NEC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Willem II Tilburg backline.
- The points are shared — NEC 0-0 Willem II Tilburg. Honours even.
