- 28' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 33' 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 Mathias Ross suffering a number of foals already.
- 38' 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.

- 64' What a strike from Tjaronn Chery! The score is 0-2.
- 64' It’s a booking for NEC player. Mathias Ross gets a card.
- 69' Mike van Duinen has so much to prove this time. He replaces Arthur Zagre on 69 minute.
- 72' Siebe Horemans has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 72.
- 73' It is a substitution in NEC team. Sylla Sow is replaced by Koki Ogawa on 73 minute.
- 74' SBV Excelsior manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Casper Widell is hanging Lazaros Lamprou on the field on 74 minute.
