Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Yanmar Stadion. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Alex Balboa has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' 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 Oliver Braude suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Almere City FC that had 69 games and scored 62 goals.
- 30' Luuk Brouwers has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 30.
- 35' The 32-year-old Alireza Jahanbakhsh has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 40' The travelling SC Heerenveen supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 45' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Jochem Ritmeester van de Kamp on 45 minutes.
- 46' Fresh legs for SC Heerenveen! Che Nunnely comes on to replace Ilias Sebaoui.
- 48' That is a card for SC Heerenveen. Espen van Ee will be fuming at that decision.
- 52' Adi Nalic makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Almere City FC are in front.
- 56' Goal! Joey Jacobs scores his 3 goal in 69 matches.
- 61' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 62' Alex Carbonell has so much to prove this time. He replaces Thom Haye on 62 minute.
- 67' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 69' Time for substitution for SC Heerenveen. Oliver Braude is replaced by Jacob Trenskow.
- 73' Time for substitution for Almere City FC. Adi Nalic is replaced by Ruben Providence.
- 74' The crowd applauds Junior Kadile as he leaves the pitch. Kornelius Hansen steps in for Almere City FC.
- 79' SC Heerenveen fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 84' The Almere City FC manager makes a substitution. Anas Tahiri departs to be replaced by Jamie Lawrence.
- 89' Both keepers have barely been tested. Almere City FC and SC Heerenveen are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- Full Time. Almere City FC beats SC Heerenveen
