Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. PEC Zwolle kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. PEC Zwolle and FC Groningen are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.

  • 35' The 38-year-old Reza Ghoochannejhad has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 40' 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 Slobodan Tedic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' FC Groningen have won 243 goals from 307 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 50' Sergio Padt needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
