Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Yanmar Stadion. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 10' Jamie Lawrence, a Wales , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 15' Sparta Rotterdam fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' Joshua Kitolano has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 29' Mohamed Nassoh is ready to make an impact after coming on for Shunsuke Mito at the 29 minute mark.
- 34' Supporters expect more eagerness from Mohamed Nassoh, as he is very good at scoring at Yanmar Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 39' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 44' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Almere City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 49' Rick Meissen has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 52' The referee calls foul for Marvin Young. He receives a card.
- 57' A stunning finish from Mitchell van Bergen — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 60' Baptiste Guillaume is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jamie Lawrence at the 60 minute mark.
- 65' 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 Tobias Lauritsen suffering a number of foals already.
- 68' Mike Eerdhuijzen has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 68 minutes.
- 71' Time for substitution for Almere City FC. Anas Tahiri is replaced by Tim Receveur.
- 76' It looks surprising Sparta Rotterdam does not make any changes. Nordin Bakker has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 81' Both keepers have barely been tested. Almere City FC and Sparta Rotterdam are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 84' Sparta Rotterdam make a change. Joshua Kitolano trudges off to be replaced by Jonathan de Guzman on 84 minutes.
- 89' Sparta Rotterdam started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 89.

- 90' Another change for Sparta Rotterdam made on 90 minute. Mike Eerdhuijzen leaves to be changed by Rick Meissen.
- The referee brings this contest to a close. Sparta Rotterdam take all three points.
