95 ‘And then Dieperink whistles for the last time. It ends in Waalwijk in 2-2. The first point is in and Dost is the man of the match.
95 ‘Kramer tries to decorate a penalty. Dieperink does not fall for it.
94′ Weather Dost. Full on the slipper. Fire arrow!
92 ‘The ball falls into the mix for Dost. His swipe ends. It would be great if he makes his third.
90 ‘There are five extra minutes.
90′ Oukili shoots! Barkas saves.
87 ‘ Vroegh does not hit the ball well, otherwise it is just 3-2 for RKC.
86 ‘Dost has a dream debut for FC Utrecht.
Bas Dost heads in the equalizer
85′ GOAL!!! Bas Dost does it! He heads in his second of the evening on a pass from Brouwers.
80′ YELLOW for Oukili after a charge on Mahi.
77 ‘Redan makes way for Sylla at FC Utrecht.
74′ There it is again, Dost! The long striker comes across centimeters on Boussaid’s good cross.
73 ‘Time is running out. It’s all a bit awkward.
67′ RKC changes. Lobete for Daneels. And Mahi for Van der Kust at FC Utrecht.
65 ‘Brouwers with a cross pass to Van der Kust. He can hardly keep the ball in, but he can no longer come up with a good cross.
61 ‘Vurnon Anita joins the team at RKC. De Vleutenaar is accompanied by Wouters. Van der Hoorn cannot continue at FC Utrecht. Mark van der Maarel is his replacement.
58 ‘Van der Kust to Dost, who is looking for Redan… RKC is in between.
55 ‘A real striker goal from Dost. It only took him six minutes. We will see if FC Utrecht can continue this.
Bas Dost scores FC Utrecht’s first goal of the season
52′ GOAL!!! On the other hand, it is touching. Boussaid lashes out. Vaessen, the RKC goalkeeper, lets go of the ball and Dost is immediately there to shoot. 2-1!
51′ RKC leads from the left. The ball crashes into Kramer’s feet, but he doesn’t know how to take advantage of this opportunity.
48 ‘Van der Kust is gone over the side. He gives direction to Redan. Too bad Dost wasn’t hooked yet with his height. The ball is too high for Redan.
47 ‘RKC is immediately dangerous again against Utrecht, which has continued to play with three central defenders.
46 ‘FC Utrecht has made a substitution. Dost and Bozdogan joined the squad ahead of Douvikas and Booth. The second half started with that.
45 ‘And then it is immediately rest. We’ll be back soon for the second half.
RKC comes to 2-0 on the stroke of half-time
45′ GOAL!!! Gert’s story no longer holds. Bel Hassani gets all the space and leaves Barkas no chance in the far corner. 2-0 for RKC.
44 ‘Gert Kruys does not lower the ball. “Ajax was also 1-0 behind at halftime.” The team from Amsterdam eventually won 2-3 against Fortuna Sittard.
36′ Bad pass by Boussaid on Booth. The ball goes over the sideline. The tempo is slow and the execution careless.
33 ‘Van der Hoorn is wrong and Daneels is gone. Another corner for RKC. This time it will go well.
31′ Sagnan!!! The defender solves the problem himself and almost heads in a corner.
29 ‘FC Utrecht is tactically stuck. Sagnan is released by RKC and the Frenchman does not know what to do with it and makes himself redundant.
21 ‘Gert Kruys is not worried, he says on Radio M Utrecht in Namen and Rug numbers. “FC Utrecht should not panic. There is still 70 minutes to play and if necessary there is also quite a bit on the bench. We also have a man left in the build-up, so that offers opportunities.”
18 ‘FC Utrecht has to recover after this setback.
FC Utrecht falls behind after fifteen minutes against RKC
15′ GOAL!!! The corner kick that follows is a hit. Kramer can head on and Van den Buijs who is outlaw can shoot in.
15 ‘Van der Kust keeps the ball off the goal line when Bel Hassani can shoot freely. A huge opportunity for RKC now.
13 ‘Barkas has now made his first save in FC Utrecht’s goal, or rather, about six meters next to the goal if the Greek with Dutch roots comes out of his goal well.
11 ‘The FC Utrecht supporters support the sick former player Sébastien Haller. A nice gesture towards the French striker who has testicular cancer.
9′ Free kick RKC from the left. The Waalwijkers manage to reach Kramer, but he shoots into the block. FC Utrecht’s first storm has passed. The home team gets some space.
5′ Boussaid! The little Belgian shoots past from a promising position, after Redan managed to find him handsome.
3 ‘An excellent start by Henk Fraser and his men who immediately push RKC into the ropes.
2 ‘The first corner is not long in coming for FC Utrecht. The ball goes behind an RKC player.
1 ‘Within 40 seconds it is almost hit when Douvikas passes and Redan can walk in the ball.
