Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Almere City FC get us underway at Yanmar Stadion.
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' Junior Kadile has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 15' Alex Balboa has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 6 cards already picked up this season.
  • 20' The energy levels are beginning to show. Robin van Persie might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 25' SC Heerenveen is showing some good football. However, SC Heerenveen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 30' That is a card for SC Heerenveen. Luuk Brouwers will be fuming at that decision.
  • 35' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 40' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Almere City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 45' A moment of madness from Jochem Ritmeester van de Kamp on 45 minutes earns him a card. Almere City FC will be frustrated.
  • 46' A tactical swap from SC Heerenveen — Che Nunnely on, Ilias Sebaoui off on 46 minutes.
  • 48' A meaty challenge results in booking for Espen van Ee on 48.
  • 52' Magnificent from Adi Nalic! That is 3 goals in 248 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 56' GOAL! Joey Jacobs scores on 56. Assisted by Vasilios Zagaritis
  • 61' 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 Mickey van der Hart suffering a number of foals already.
  • 62' The whistle greets Thom Haye as he departs to be replaced by Alex Carbonell.
  • 67' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 67 minutes.
  • 69' The SC Heerenveen manager makes a substitution. Oliver Braude departs to be replaced by Jacob Trenskow.
  • 73' The Almere City FC manager makes a substitution. Adi Nalic departs to be replaced by Ruben Providence.
  • 74' Kornelius Hansen gets the nod from Almere City FC. He replaces Junior Kadile and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 79' Almere City FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined SC Heerenveen backline.
  • 84' Fresh legs for Almere City FC! Jamie Lawrence comes on to replace Anas Tahiri.
  • 89' Over 89 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. Almere City FC take all three points.
