Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against RKC Waalwijk and Heracles Almelo has kicked off!
  • 5' Heracles Almelo started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' 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 Oskar Zawada suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tim van de Loo made 197 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Brian De Keersmaecker, as he is very good at scoring at Mandemakers Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 35' Juho Talvitie has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 40' It looks surprising RKC Waalwijk does not make any changes. Fabian de Keijzer has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 45' RKC Waalwijk seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 46' Mario Engels has so much to prove this time. He replaces Juho Talvitie on 46 minute.
  • 51' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 52' Ivan Mesik is having his name booked by the referee on 52.
  • 57' Richonell Margaret is having his name booked by the referee on 57.
  • 61' The whistle greets Kevin Felida as he departs to be replaced by Chris Lokesa.
  • 66' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. RKC Waalwijk needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 71' 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.
  • 72' The supporters are chanting for Michiel Kramer. He replaces Oskar Zawada on 72 minute.
  • 75' Another change for Heracles Almelo made on 75 minute. Daniel van Kaam leaves to be changed by Jan Zamburek.
  • 79' Another change for Heracles Almelo made on 79 minute. Jannes Wieckhoff leaves to be changed by Mimeirhel Benita.
  • 84' RKC Waalwijk is showing some good football. However, RKC Waalwijk are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 85' Denilho Cleonise has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mohammed Ihattaren on 85 minute.
  • 90' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
