- 0' In just a few seconds Seacon Stadion De Koel will turn into a battlefield for VVV Venlo and Willem II Tilburg.
- 5' 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 Pol Llonch suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Willem II Tilburg seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 20' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both VVV Venlo and Willem II Tilburg are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 25' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 30' 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.
- 33' Chris Kum catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 33.
- 38' Togo international Peniel Mlapa has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 43' What composure from Peniel Mlapa! The Togo international strokes it home. 1-0.
- 44' That is a Yellow card for VVV Venlo. Jerold Promes will be fuming at that decision.
- 49' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 49 minutes.
- 53' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Renato Tapia.
- 58' Willem II Tilburg ring the changes. Aras Ozbiliz has done his job and it is now time for Vangelis Pavlidis to step up.
- 60' Magnificent from Daniel Crowley! That is 11 goals in 165 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 65' The travelling Willem II Tilburg supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 67' Time for substitution for VVV Venlo. Jerold Promes is replaced by Evert Linthorst.
- 72' Willem II Tilburg are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 73' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Evert Linthorst on 73 minutes.
- 76' VVV Venlo make a change. Tino-Sven Susic trudges off to be replaced by Jay-Roy Grot on 76 minutes.
- 77' Peniel Mlapa doubles the advantage! 2-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 82' Over 82 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 86' James McGarry has so much to prove this time. He replaces Pol Llonch on 86 minute.
- 90' Roel Janssen has so much to prove this time. He replaces Patrick Joosten on 90 minute.
- 2-1 the final result. Willem II Tilburg will be bitterly disappointed.
