Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Koning Willem II Stadion!
  • 5' Pol Llonch has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 25' Willem II Tilburg are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Fortuna Sittard backline.
  • 30' Willem II Tilburg is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 35' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Willem II Tilburg side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 39' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Pol Llonch.
  • 44' 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 Mike van Beijnen suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' Vangelis Pavlidis makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Willem II Tilburg are in front.
  • 45' It’s a booking for Fortuna Sittard player. Zian Flemming gets a Yellow card.
  • 48' The Netherlands forward Zian Flemming breaks the deadlock on 48 minutes. 1-1!
  • 53' Netherlands international Yanick van Osch has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 57' Willem II Tilburg player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 62' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Sjors Ultee will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 66' A change in the Fortuna Sittard ranks — Clint Essers exits the field as Emil Hansson enters on 66.
  • 67' Magnificent from Sebastian Holmen! That is 4 goals in 364 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 71' Lindon Selahi is ready to make an impact after coming on for Pol Llonch at the 71 minute mark.
  • 72' A change in the Fortuna Sittard ranks — Tesfaldet Tekie exits the field as Thibaud Verlinden enters on 72.
  • 77' It looks surprising Fortuna Sittard does not make any changes. Sven van Beek has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 82' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 82 minutes.
  • 85' Another substitution for Willem II Tilburg to replace Dries Saddiki by Freek Heerkens on 85 minute.
  • 89' The Fortuna Sittard manager makes a substitution. Mats Seuntjens departs to be replaced by Samuel Moutoussamy.
  • 90' A tactical swap from Fortuna Sittard — Samuel Moutoussamy on, Mats Seuntjens off on 90 minutes.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Willem II Tilburg to claim maximum points.
