  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between PEC Zwolle and Heracles Almelo is underway.
  • 5' Anselmo MacNulty needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Heracles Almelo that had 233 games and scored 284 goals.
  • 15' It’s high time Ernest Faber made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 19' Anselmo MacNulty puts PEC Zwolle on the lead.
  • 21' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ryan Thomas on 21.
  • 26' PEC Zwolle 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.
  • 31' That looks like a foul for a card for Alec Van Hoorenbeeck.
  • 36' Sem Scheperman has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 38' Djevencio van der Kust is having his name booked by the referee on 38.
  • 43' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 48' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 53' Heracles Almelo started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 53.
  • 58' 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 Koen Kostons suffering a number of foals already.
  • 62' Sem Scheperman was booked on 62.
  • 63' It’s a booking for Heracles Almelo player. Sem Scheperman gets a card.
  • 68' It’s gonna be a card for Sheral Floranus.
  • 73' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 78' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Heracles Almelo needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

  • 84' Goal! Koen Kostons scores his 8 goal in 316 matches.
  • 89' Heracles Almelo is showing some good football. However, Heracles Almelo are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
