Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Stadion Galgenwaard will turn into a battlefield for FC Utrecht and Fortuna Sittard.
  • 5' Arianit Ferati has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kristijan Bistrovic made 400 appearances and scored 14 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 25' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 30' FC Utrecht is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 35' Fortuna Sittard 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.
  • 40' Greece international Dimitrios Siovas has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 45' Jens Toornstra needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 50' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Utrecht that had 321 games and scored 440 goals.
  • 55' Tijjani Noslin is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Utrecht tonight.
  • 57' Derensili Fernandes has so much to prove this time. He replaces Naoki Maeda on 57 minute.
  • 58' The crowd applauds Naoki Maeda as he leaves the pitch. Derensili Fernandes steps in for FC Utrecht.
  • 59' What a moment for Anastasios Douvikas! That strike on 59 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 64' The energy levels are beginning to show. Julio Velazquez might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 65' It is a substitution in Fortuna Sittard team. Thomas Buitink is replaced by Tijjani Noslin on 65 minute.
  • 66' The FC Utrecht bench stirs into life. Zakaria Labyad is withdrawn and Victor Jensen gets his opportunity.
  • 69' A stunning finish from Kristijan Bistrovic — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 74' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 77' Fortuna Sittard player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 78' It’s a booking for Fortuna Sittard player. Kristijan Bistrovic gets a Yellow card.
  • 79' A change in the Fortuna Sittard ranks — Deroy Duarte exits the field as Remy Vita enters on 79.
  • 84' 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 Mark van der Maarel suffering a number of foals already.
  • 85' The referee has no hesitation. Jens Toornstra is booked for FC Utrecht — Yellow card on 85.
  • 87' Goal! Tijjani Noslin scores his 19 goal in 0 matches.
  • 88' Jens Toornstra makes way for Anthony Descotte at the 88 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Utrecht.
  • 90' Sander van de Streek has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 90.
  • 90' Arianit Ferati is replacing Oguzhan Ozyakup for the Fortuna Sittard side.
  • 1-2 the final result. FC Utrecht will be bitterly disappointed.
