Events
Match Events

- 15' RKC Waalwijk are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined NEC backline.
- 20' Roberto Gonzalez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 12 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 25' The 34-year-old Richard van der Venne has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 30' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering NEC that had 185 games and scored 255 goals.
- 40' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 45' It’s gonna be a card for Daouda Weidmann.
- 50' Netherlands international Bram Nuytinck has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 55' Koki Ogawa has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 4 goals to his name this season.

- 74' A stunning finish from Sami Ouaissa — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 77' It is a substitution in RKC Waalwijk team. Silvester van der Water is replaced by Denilho Cleonise on 77 minute.
- 78' The supporters are chanting for Kento Shiogai. He replaces Koki Ogawa on 78 minute.
- 83' It is a cagey affair so far. RKC Waalwijk in their 4-3-3 trying to find a way past NEC's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 88' Silvester van der Water has been relatively quiet despite scoring 19 goals in his last 233 appearances.
- 90' What a moment for Ivan Marquez! That strike on 90 puts his side firmly in control.
- It finishes all square. RKC Waalwijk and NEC share the spoils 0-3.
