Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: NEC gets underway.
- 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 10' 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 Emil Bergstrom suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Willem II Tilburg player sees a Red card in front of him.
- 17' Connor van den Berg has so much to prove this time. He replaces Gorkem Saglam on 17 minute.
- 22' The travelling Willem II Tilburg supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 27' NEC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Willem II Tilburg's shape.
- 32' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His NEC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 37' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 42' It looks surprising Willem II Tilburg does not make any changes. Max Svensson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 46' Another change for Willem II Tilburg made on 46 minute. Kwasi Okyere Wriedt leaves to be changed by Nikolaos Michelis.
- 51' The home supporters are growing impatient. NEC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 54' Another substitution for Willem II Tilburg to replace Derrick Kohn by Max Svensson on 54 minute.
- 59' The referee calls foul for Ulrik Jenssen. He receives a Yellow card.
- 60' The supporters are chanting for Elayis Tavsan. He replaces Jordy Bruijn on 60 minute.
- 61' NEC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Magnus Mattsson is hanging Mikkel Duelund on the field on 61 minute.
- 64' Willem II Tilburg player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 68' Another change for Willem II Tilburg made on 68 minute. Mats Kohlert leaves to be changed by Emil Bergstrom.
- 71' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Elayis Tavsan.
- 76' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Willem II Tilburg that had 168 games and scored 218 goals.
- 79' NEC make a change. Dirk Proper trudges off to be replaced by Ole Romeny on 79 minutes.
- 84' 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.
- 89' Kwasi Okyere Wriedt is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Willem II Tilburg tonight.
- celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
