Events
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. PEC Zwolle is hosting Heracles Almelo for another epic battle.
- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ryan Thomas, as he is very good at scoring at MAC3PARK Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 10' Luka Kulenovic has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 32 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 15' Heracles Almelo is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 19' Goal! Anselmo MacNulty scores his 1 goal in 460 matches.
- 21' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ryan Thomas on 21.
- 26' 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 Kaj de Rooij suffering a number of foals already.
- 31' Heracles Almelo receives a card for a hard tackle on 31.
- 36' Heracles Almelo seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 38' Heracles Almelo receives a card for a hard tackle on 38.
- 43' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Simon Graves made 222 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 48' 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.
- 53' Alec Van Hoorenbeeck needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 58' PEC Zwolle started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 58.
- 62' Sem Scheperman is having his name booked by the referee on 62.
- 63' It’s a booking for Heracles Almelo player. Sem Scheperman gets a card.
- 68' That looks like a foul for a card for Sheral Floranus.
- 73' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. PEC Zwolle needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 78' The travelling Heracles Almelo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 83' It looks like no one’s ball. PEC Zwolle is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 84' GOAL! Koen Kostons scores on 84.
- 89' PEC Zwolle is showing some good football. However, PEC Zwolle are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
