- 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 15' The Netherlands Thijs Oosting breaks the deadlock on 15 minutes. 2-0!
- 20' It’s high time Fred Grim made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 25' Vurnon Anita has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Groningen that had 307 games and scored 243 goals.
- 33' What a strike from Ahmed El Messaoudi! The score is 2-1.
- 38' Patrick Joosten has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 43' Over 43 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 46' Another change for RKC Waalwijk made on 46 minute. Lennerd Daneels leaves to be changed by Sylla Sow.
- 51' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His RKC Waalwijk side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.

- 71' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 72' Alessio Da Cruz catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 72.
- 77' The 34-year-old Ola John has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
