Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Mandemakers Stadion. Ninety minutes of football awaits between RKC Waalwijk and FC Groningen.
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mats Seuntjens made 300 appearances and scored 33 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 25' The home supporters are growing impatient. RKC Waalwijk must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 30' It looks like no one’s ball. RKC Waalwijk is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 35' Laros Duarte has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 230 appearances.
- 40' Thierry Lutonda is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for RKC Waalwijk tonight.
- 43' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Matej Chalus.
- 46' The whistle greets Yassin Oukili as he departs to be replaced by Julen Lobete.
- 49' It is a substitution in RKC Waalwijk team. Thierry Lutonda is replaced by Said Bakari on 49 minute.
- 53' That is a Yellow card for RKC Waalwijk. Etienne Vaessen will be fuming at that decision.
- 58' The 24-year-old Oliver Antman has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 63' RKC Waalwijk are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FC Groningen backline.
- 64' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Michiel Kramer makes it 1-0.
- 67' What composure from Ricardo Pepi! The USA international strokes it home. 1-1.

- 80' Mika Biereth is ready to make an impact after coming on for Florian Jozefzoon at the 80 minute mark.
- 85' 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 Patrick Vroegh suffering a number of foals already.
- 86' Against the run of play, Michiel Kramer has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 89' RKC Waalwijk manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Lars Nieuwpoort is hanging Michiel Kramer on the field on 89 minute.
