- 0' In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for SBV Vitesse and Farul Constanta.
- 5' 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.
- 10' SBV Vitesse currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 15' Romania international Tudor Baluta has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 18' The referee calls foul for Bradley de Nooijer. He receives a Yellow card.
- 23' Assisted by Jake Clarke-Salter with the perfectly-timed delivery and Tim Matavz makes no mistake. 1-0!
- 28' Farul Constanta is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 33' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jake Clarke-Salter made 282 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 38' Farul Constanta come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 40' A moment of madness from Lyes Houri on 40 minutes earns him a Yellow card. FC Viitorul Constanta will be frustrated.

- 50' Magnificent from Denis Dragus! That is 15 goals in 8 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 55' 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 Rasmus Thelander suffering a number of foals already.
- 57' The SBV Vitesse manager makes a substitution. Matus Bero departs to be replaced by Thomas Bruns.

- 87' A meaty challenge results in booking for Roy Beerens on 87.
- 90' Hillary Gong Chukwah has so much to prove this time. He replaces Bryan Linssen on 90 minute.
