Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. VBV De Graafschap host SBV Excelsior — let the battle begin!
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Leeroy Owusu made 35 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' 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 Jordy Tutuarima suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 25' Goal! Daryl van Mieghem scores his 13 goal in 35 matches.
  • 30' Netherlands international Hidde Jurjus has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.

  • 40' Ryan Koolwijk is having his name booked by the referee on 40.
  • 42' It’s a booking for SBV Excelsior player. Jurgen Mattheij gets a Yellow card.
  • 45' A moment of madness from Frank Olijve on 45 minutes earns him a Yellow card. VBV De Graafschap will be frustrated.
  • 46' A change in the VBV De Graafschap ranks — Myenty Abena exits the field as Erik Bakker enters on 46.
  • 50' What composure from Furdjel Narsingh! The Netherlands international strokes it home. 2-1.
  • 55' A stunning finish from Youssef Jebli — that came from absolutely nowhere!
