Events
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. NEC is hosting Willem II Tilburg for another epic battle.
- 1' GOAL! Calvin Verdonk scores on 1.
- 6' It’s high time Rogier Meijer made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 11' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 16' 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 Basar Onal suffering a number of foals already.
- 21' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 21 minutes.
- 26' 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.
- 31' 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.
- 36' Willem II Tilburg is showing some good football. However, Willem II Tilburg are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 37' Kodai Sano was booked on 37.
- 41' NEC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kento Shiogai is hanging Dirk Proper on the field on 41 minute.
- 46' Time for substitution for NEC. Koki Ogawa is replaced by Sami Ouaissa.
- 51' It looks like no one’s ball. NEC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 56' 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.
- 61' 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.
- 66' It looks surprising Willem II Tilburg does not make any changes. Thomas Didillon has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 68' It is a substitution in NEC team. Lars Olden Larsen is replaced by Basar Onal on 68 minute.
- 73' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

- 80' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Boris Lambert made 199 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 82' Time for substitution for Willem II Tilburg. Emilio Kehrer is replaced by Nick Doodeman.
- 83' Goal! Kento Shiogai scores his 5 goal in 302 matches.
- 84' A meaty challenge results in booking for Sami Ouaissa on 84.
- 89' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
