Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Euroborg!
  • 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 10' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both FC Groningen and SC Heerenveen are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' It is a cagey affair so far. FC Groningen in their 4-4-2 trying to find a way past SC Heerenveen's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 25' With 1 assists to his name this season, Thijs Oosting is clearly more than just a goal scorer for SC Heerenveen.
  • 30' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 35' The 22-year-old Oliver Braude has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 40' Supporters expect more eagerness from Stije Resink, as he is very good at scoring at Euroborg with 3 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 45' 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.
  • 50' Che Nunnely has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 55' named a 4-4-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 58' The supporters are chanting for Milos Lukovic. He replaces Dimitris Rallis on 58 minute.
  • 62' The FC Groningen bench stirs into life. Wouter Prins is withdrawn and Marvin Peersman gets his opportunity.
  • 63' GOAL! Luciano Valente fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 68' 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 Levi Smans suffering a number of foals already.
  • 73' SC Heerenveen manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ilias Sebaoui is hanging Jacob Trenskow on the field on 73 minute.
  • 78' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Groningen and SC Heerenveen are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 83' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 84' A change in the FC Groningen ranks — Luciano Valente exits the field as Jorg Schreuders enters on 84.
  • 85' Jordy de Wijs gets the nod from SC Heerenveen. He replaces Sam Kersten and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 90' The home supporters are growing impatient. FC Groningen must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • The final score is 1-0.
