Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: NEC gets underway.
- 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 Casper Widell suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' It looks surprising NEC does not make any changes. Gonzalo Crettaz has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SBV Excelsior needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 25' 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.
- 30' Bryan Linssen puts NEC on the lead.
- 35' 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.
- 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SBV Excelsior that had 134 games and scored 141 goals.
- 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rick Meissen made 307 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 50' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with NEC winning 100% of all matches.
- 55' SBV Excelsior is showing some good football. However, SBV Excelsior are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 60' Another substitution for SBV Excelsior to replace Emil Hansson by Irakli Yegoian on 60 minute.
- 65' It’s high time Ruben den Uil made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 70' It looks like no one’s ball. SBV Excelsior is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 71' Goal! Basar Onal scores his 1 goal in 35 matches.
- 76' It is a substitution in SBV Excelsior team. Arthur Zagre is replaced by Simon Janssen on 76 minute.
- 80' Another substitution for NEC to replace Basar Onal by Dirk Proper on 80 minute.
- 81' Time for substitution for NEC. Bryan Linssen is replaced by Danilo.
- 85' Another change for NEC made on 85 minute. Deveron Fonville leaves to be changed by Ahmetcan Kaplan.
- 90' The supporters are chanting for Adam Carlen. He replaces Ilias Bronkhorst on 90 minute.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for SBV Excelsior and NEC (для сухой ничьи).
