As the substitutions were completed, the crowd applauded, and Gertjan Verbeek offered Altidore and Beerens pats on the back as they walked towards the bench.

Benjamin gave Berghuis a quick nod as he passed by, and already locking eyes with his new strike partner, Johannsson.

[This is a good chance for Johannsson to impress,] the first commentator noted. [He's got fresh legs, and with the way Benjamin's been playing, there are bound to be opportunities for him]

The Roda JC manager wasn't idle either. Moments later, his substitutions followed. The fourth official raised the board again.

[No. 8 Sanharib Malki out, No. 15 Mitchel Paulissen in]

[No. 14 Bart Biemans out, No. 3 Ard van Peppen in]

[Well, this is interesting,] the second commentator said. [Roda JC's making defensive substitutions here. Malki's off, and they're bringing on another center-back. It's clear they're trying to shut up shop]
