NEC Nijmegen 0-0 Willem II Tilburg
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/NEC-c40018 Nijmegen recorded a goalless draw against Willem II Tilburg at McDOS Goffertstadion on Saturday, September 22, despite both sides creating plenty of goalscoring opportunities.
The home side enjoyed the lion’s share of ball possession, and remained the better side on the pitch. In the 12th minute, the Nijmegen outfit even broke the deadlock, when Melvin Platje found the back of the net. However,
the hosts were disappointed to see the goal being disallowed due to Soren Rieks foul on the Tricolores goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Meul.
NEC came close to taking the lead moments later, but Meul made a brilliant save to keep out Ryan Koolwijk’s curling effort. The visiting side’s goalkeeper made another decent save to deny http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Geert-Arend-Roorda-c14501 from hitting the back
of the net.

chance went begging.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Conboy-c20711 received his marching orders two minutes before the full-time whistle following a harsh tackle on Misidjan. However, the visiting side failed to capitalise on their numerical advantage in the remaining action of the
game, and the match ended in a goalless draw.

by the Amsterdammers goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kenneth-Vermeer-c20618.
De Joden created their first clear cut opportunity in the 12th minute, when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christian-Eriksen-c9074 played a neat pass to Jody Lukoki at the right side of the box. However, the youngster’s effort went wide of the target.

goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-Zwinkels-c31288.
