  • 10' Willem II Tilburg is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 21' GOAL! Danny Post fires home to make it 0-1!

  • 45' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Danny Post.
  • 50' 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 Ralf Seuntjens suffering a number of foals already.
  • 55' VVV Venlo is showing some good football. However, VVV Venlo are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
