Events

Match Events

  • 5' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.

  • 24' GOAL! Koki Ogawa scores on 24.
  • 29' Lasse Schone needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 33' What a strike from Jeremy Bokila! The score is 1-2.
  • 38' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kento Shiogai made 302 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 43' Supporters expect more eagerness from Patrick Joosten, as he is very good at scoring at Koning Willem II Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 48' 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.

  • 78' Boris Lambert is replacing Jeremy Bokila for the Willem II Tilburg side.
  • 83' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 86' GOAL! Boris Lambert scores on 86. Assisted by Nick Doodeman
  • 89' NEC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Basar Onal is hanging Thomas Ouwejan on the field on 89 minute.
