Events

Match Events

  • 10' RKC Waalwijk are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. RKC Waalwijk and FC Groningen are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 16' Finn Stokkers adds to his 0 season tally! RKC Waalwijk lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 21' Neraysho Kasanwirjo has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 21.
  • 22' A moment of madness from Neraysho Kasanwirjo on 22 minutes earns him a Yellow card. FC Groningen will be frustrated.
  • 25' A goal from the Netherlands international Finn Stokkers! He fires home on 25 to make it 2-0!
  • 30' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His RKC Waalwijk side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 35' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 39' Richard van der Venne has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 39 minutes.
  • 44' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both RKC Waalwijk and FC Groningen are desperate not to drop points on matchday .

  • 63' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Groningen needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 68' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 73' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ahmed Touba made 356 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
