- 17' The referee calls foul for Jordy Bruijn. He receives a card.
- 18' GOAL! Luuk de Jong scores on 18. Assisted by Joey Veerman
- 23' Sven Sonnenberg has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 28' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jetro Willems made 515 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 31' The referee calls foul for Ajdin Hrustic. He receives a card.
- 36' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
