- 15' A quiet spell here at MAC³PARK Stadion. PEC Zwolle seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.

- 25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 30' Adil Auassar has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 5 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

- 38' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 43' 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.

- 71' Goal! Yuta Nakayama scores his 14 goal in 416 matches.
- 74' It is a substitution in PEC Zwolle team. Reza Ghoochannejhad is replaced by Mike van Duinen on 74 minute.
- 79' Bram van Polen has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 21 cards already picked up this season.
- 82' Slobodan Tedic gets the nod from PEC Zwolle. He replaces Immanuel Pherai and will look to change the dynamic.
