Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. RKC Waalwijk kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' 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 Emmanuel Matuta suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Joseph Oosting will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 16' The Netherlands centre-forward Finn Stokkers breaks the deadlock on 16 minutes. 1-0!
  • 21' FC Groningen receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 21.

  • 30' Algeria international Ahmed Touba has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.

  • 39' Richard van der Venne doubles the advantage! 3-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 44' FC Groningen is showing some good football. However, FC Groningen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 46' Michael de Leeuw makes way for Cyril Ngonge at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Groningen.
  • 48' FC Groningen ring the changes. Michael de Leeuw has done his job and it is now time for Cyril Ngonge to step up.

  • 73' Michiel Kramer has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 32 cards already picked up this season.
  • 75' The FC Groningen bench stirs into life. Marin Sverko is withdrawn and Romano Postema gets his opportunity.
