Events

Match Events

  • 10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 15' FC Emmen have won 160 goals from 129 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 18' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Sergio Pena makes it 1-0.

  • 37' Keziah Veendorp picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 38' Sparta Rotterdam ring the changes. Mohammed Rayhi has done his job and it is now time for Deroy Duarte to step up.
  • 43' 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 Bart Vriends suffering a number of foals already.
