Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. PEC Zwolle host RKC Waalwijk — let the battle begin!
- 5' 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.
- 10' PEC Zwolle are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined RKC Waalwijk backline.
- 14' A goal from the Serbia international Filip Stevanovic! He fires home on 14 to make it 0-1!
- 19' 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 Shawn Adewoye suffering a number of foals already.
- 24' PEC Zwolle are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 29' PEC Zwolle started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 29.
- 30' Davy van den Berg has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 30 minutes.
- 35' Both keepers have barely been tested. PEC Zwolle and RKC Waalwijk are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 40' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 42' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Filip Stevanovic on 42 minutes.
- 47' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering RKC Waalwijk that had 197 games and scored 250 goals.
- 50' Sensational shot from Chris Lokesa. RKC Waalwijk is back in the lead.
- 55' Dario Van den Buijs has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 60' The energy levels are beginning to show. Henk Fraser might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 61' It is a substitution in PEC Zwolle team. Ryan Thomas is replaced by Ferdy Druijf on 61 minute.
- 66' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 71' Yassin Oukili has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 74' The crowd applauds Lennart Thy as he leaves the pitch. Apostolos Vellios steps in for PEC Zwolle.
- 78' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Michiel Kramer on 78 minutes.
- 79' Fresh legs for RKC Waalwijk! Reuven Niemeijer comes on to replace Chris Lokesa.
- 80' The PEC Zwolle bench stirs into life. Anselmo MacNulty is withdrawn and Anouar El Azzouzi gets his opportunity.
- 84' Another change for RKC Waalwijk made on 84 minute. Filip Stevanovic leaves to be changed by Zakaria Bakkali.
- 88' A tactical swap from RKC Waalwijk — Jeffrey Bruma on, Denilho Cleonise off on 88 minutes.
- RKC Waalwijk celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
