  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. VVV Venlo is hosting NAC Breda for another epic battle.
  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. NAC Breda needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' It looks surprising VVV Venlo does not make any changes. Gianluca Nijholt has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering VVV Venlo that had 171 games and scored 118 goals.
  • 22' Goal! Johnatan Opoku scores his 12 goal in 171 matches.
  • 27' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 32' 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 Lars Unnerstall suffering a number of foals already.
  • 34' A meaty challenge results in booking for Fabian Sporkslede on 34.
  • 37' A meaty challenge results in booking for Arno Verschueren on 37.
  • 38' What a strike from Tino-Sven Susic! The score is 2-0.

  • 53' GOAL! Jay-Roy Grot scores on 53. Assisted by Ralf Seuntjens
  • 58' It looks like no one’s ball. NAC Breda is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
