Events
Match Events
- 0' Welcome to MAC3PARK Stadion that hosts another battle between PEC Zwolle and Almere City FC.
- 5' Sheral Floranus is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Almere City FC tonight.
- 10' It looks surprising PEC Zwolle does not make any changes. Kaj de Rooij has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' Almere City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 20' Another substitution for PEC Zwolle to replace Kaj de Rooij by Silvester van der Water on 20 minute.
- 25' 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.
- 30' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 35' With 0 assists to his name this season, Damian van Bruggen is clearly more than just a goal scorer for PEC Zwolle.
- 40' Almere City FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 45' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-1-4-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 50' 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 Kornelius Hansen suffering a number of foals already.
- 52' Poor challenge from Joey Jacobs. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 57' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 61' The crowd applauds Joey Jacobs as he leaves the pitch. Theo Barbet steps in for Almere City FC.
- 66' Over 66 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 69' Thomas Robinet doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 73' The crowd applauds Eliano Reijnders as he leaves the pitch. Filip Krastev steps in for PEC Zwolle.
- 78' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 78 minutes.
- 79' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Peer Koopmeiners on 79 minutes.
- 81' Almere City FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 81.
- 86' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 90' A moment of madness from Hamdi Akujobi on 90 minutes earns him a card. Almere City FC will be frustrated.
- 90' Fresh legs for Almere City FC! Damian van Bruggen comes on to replace Jochem Ritmeester van de Kamp.
- Game over. The scoreline of 0-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
