Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — PEC Zwolle and SBV Excelsior get this one started.
- 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 10' 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 Odysseus Velanas suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 16' Sven Nieuwpoort is having his name booked by the referee on 16.
- 18' GOAL! Anselmo MacNulty scores on 18.
- 23' PEC Zwolle are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against SBV Excelsior's 4-2-3-1 shape.
- 28' Mike van Duinen has been relatively quiet despite scoring 15 goals in his last 232 appearances.
- 33' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SBV Excelsior needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 38' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 43' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 46' The whistle greets Cisse Sandra as he departs to be replaced by Noah Naujoks.
- 51' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 56' With 0 assists to his name this season, Sven Nieuwpoort is clearly more than just a goal scorer for PEC Zwolle.
- 61' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Noah Naujoks made 322 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 64' Mike van Duinen has so much to prove this time. He replaces Richie Omorowa on 64 minute.
- 66' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Odysseus Velanas makes it 2-0.
- 71' Casper Widell has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 76' A meaty challenge results in booking for Julian Baas on 76.
- 79' The SBV Excelsior manager makes a substitution. Lazaros Lamprou departs to be replaced by Derensili Sanches Fernandes.
- 80' Anselmo MacNulty has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 80.
- 83' Time for substitution for PEC Zwolle. Younes Namli is replaced by Apostolos Vellios.
- 86' A stunning finish from Lance Duijvestijn — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- With this win, PEC Zwolle is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
