- 5' SBV Excelsior have won 155 goals from 137 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Denilho Cleonise made 418 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' SBV Excelsior 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.
- 20' 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 Yassin Oukili suffering a number of foals already.
- 21' Yassin Oukili makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and RKC Waalwijk are in front.
- 26' Noah Naujoks has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 31' The travelling SBV Excelsior supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 36' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 41' The home supporters are growing impatient. RKC Waalwijk must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 46' 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.
- 51' named a 4-3-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 56' Supporters expect more eagerness from Cisse Sandra, as he is very good at scoring at Mandemakers Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 57' A change in the RKC Waalwijk ranks — Denilho Cleonise exits the field as Zakaria Bakkali enters on 57.
- 60' Goal! Yassin Oukili scores his 18 goal in 282 matches.
- 65' Shawn Adewoye is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for SBV Excelsior so far.
- 68' Oscar Uddenas gets the nod from SBV Excelsior. He replaces Lazaros Lamprou and will look to change the dynamic.
- 73' Michiel Kramer needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 1 Red cards this season.
- 74' Goal! Nikolas Agrafiotis scores his 9 goal in 137 matches.
- 75' The whistle greets Sven Nieuwpoort as he departs to be replaced by Noah Naujoks.
- 78' Time for substitution for RKC Waalwijk. Chris Lokesa is replaced by Reuven Niemeijer.
- 80' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Julian Baas makes it 2-2.
- 85' Richie Omorowa is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for SBV Excelsior tonight.
- 90' It looks like no one’s ball. SBV Excelsior is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
