Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between SBV Vitesse and FC Groningen is underway.
  • 5' Deyovaisio Zeefuik has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 13' Magnificent from Joel Asoro! That is 7 goals in 387 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 18' SBV Vitesse are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FC Groningen backline.
  • 23' The home supporters are growing impatient. SBV Vitesse must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 28' The travelling FC Groningen supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 31' Joel Asoro with the second goal in the match!
  • 36' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 41' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 46' Tim Matavz is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jay-Roy Grot at the 46 minute mark.
  • 49' What composure from Bryan Linssen! The Netherlands international strokes it home. 1-2.
  • 54' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Julian Lelieveld made 182 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 56' It is a substitution in FC Groningen team. Kaj Sierhuis is replaced by Samir Memisevic on 56 minute.
  • 61' Sam Schreck is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Groningen tonight.
  • 66' It is a substitution in FC Groningen team. Ajdin Hrustic is replaced by Charlison Benschop on 66 minute.
  • 67' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Riechedly Bazoer.
  • 72' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Leonid Slutsky will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 74' SBV Vitesse manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Oussama Darfalou is hanging Julian Lelieveld on the field on 74 minute.
  • 79' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 81' The referee shows FC Groningen player a Yellow card on 81.
  • 86' 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 Ajdin Hrustic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 87' Controversy at the stadium! Mo El Hankouri argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 89' Sam Schreck is replacing Joel Asoro for the FC Groningen side.
  • It finishes all square. SBV Vitesse and FC Groningen share the spoils 1-2.
