FC Groningen held to draw by Go Ahead Eagles

FC Groningen and Go Ahead Eagles drew on Saturday evening. The match ended without goals.

What happened?

The match did not start at 20:00, but a little later. FC Groningen goalkeeper Etienne Vaessen's shirt looked too much like that of the opponent, so another shirt had to be found.

Once the match started, the home team had the better chances. Marco Rente headed just over and Jari De Busser had to make a save after twelve minutes of play on a shot by Tika de Jonge.

How did the match go?

The same De Busser had to make another great save later in the second half. He beautifully kept a header from David van der Werff out of the goal.

On the other hand, it was Vaessen who had to show himself later. Mathis Suray tried from distance, but saw the former RKC Waalwijk goalkeeper cleverly tap the ball out of the corner.

What are the consequences?

FC Groningen moves up to ninth place in the Eredivisie. The team has 48 points from 34 matches. The goal difference is +4.

Current situation

FC Groningen has a recent form of WWLLD. The team is 36 points behind leader PSV Eindhoven.

Currently, S. Resink and O. Zawada are injured.
