Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at AFAS Stadion. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' - 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 Hrvoje Smolcic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 6' - What a strike from Teun Koopmeiners! The score is 1-0.
