Match Events
- 0' What a night it is going to be! RKC Waalwijk welcome Fortuna Sittard for this crunch clash at Mandemakers Stadion.
- 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 Reuven Niemeijer suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' The travelling Fortuna Sittard supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 20' Michael Verrips has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 25' Mitchell Dijks has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 30' RKC Waalwijk are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Fortuna Sittard backline.

- 46' The supporters are chanting for Oguzhan Ozyakup. He replaces Arianit Ferati on 46 minute.
- 51' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both RKC Waalwijk and Fortuna Sittard are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 56' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 57' The whistle greets Denilho Cleonise as he departs to be replaced by Richonell Margaret.
- 62' The energy levels are beginning to show. Danny Buijs might look to freshen things up shortly.
