  • 0' The game is set. VBV De Graafschap kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Ted van de Pavert has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. SBV Excelsior is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mounir El Hamdaoui made 137 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' It looks surprising VBV De Graafschap does not make any changes. Thomas Oude Kotte has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SBV Excelsior that had 137 games and scored 155 goals.
  • 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 35' VBV De Graafschap started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.

  • 44' Delano Burgzorg is having his name booked by the referee on 44.
  • 49' 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.
  • 54' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 58' VBV De Graafschap manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Charlison Benschop is hanging Delano Burgzorg on the field on 58 minute.
  • 63' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 68' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jeffrey Fortes, as he is very good at scoring at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 71' Azor Matusiwa is having his name booked by the referee on 71.
  • 74' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jeffrey Fortes.
