Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Yanmar Stadion. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Junior Kadile, as he is very good at scoring at Yanmar Stadion with 3 goals in the last 3 games.
  • 15' It looks like no one’s ball. SC Heerenveen is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' It’s high time Robin van Persie made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 25' Thomas Robinet needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 1 Red cards this season.
  • 30' A meaty challenge results in booking for Luuk Brouwers on 30.
  • 35' The travelling SC Heerenveen supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 40' Almere City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.
  • 45' It’s a booking for Almere City FC player. Jochem Ritmeester van de Kamp gets a card.
  • 46' Another change for SC Heerenveen made on 46 minute. Ilias Sebaoui leaves to be changed by Che Nunnely.
  • 48' SC Heerenveen player sees a card in front of him.
  • 52' Goal! Adi Nalic scores his 3 goal in 248 matches.
  • 56' What a strike from Joey Jacobs! The score is 2-0.
  • 61' Almere City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 62' Almere City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Alex Carbonell is hanging Thom Haye on the field on 62 minute.
  • 67' Almere City FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 69' The whistle greets Oliver Braude as he departs to be replaced by Jacob Trenskow.
  • 73' Ruben Providence is replacing Adi Nalic for the Almere City FC side.
  • 74' Kornelius Hansen has so much to prove this time. He replaces Junior Kadile on 74 minute.
  • 79' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SC Heerenveen that had 369 games and scored 356 goals.
  • 84' It is a substitution in Almere City FC team. Anas Tahiri is replaced by Jamie Lawrence on 84 minute.
  • 89' 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 Jamie Lawrence suffering a number of foals already.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Almere City FC players.
