Events

Match Events

0' Three points are at stake. FC Utrecht host SBV Excelsior — let the battle begin!
5' Sean Klaiber has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 12 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
9' Poor challenge from Sean Klaiber. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
14' The travelling SBV Excelsior supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
19' SBV Excelsior is showing some good football. However, SBV Excelsior are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
21' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Ryan Koolwijk on 21 minutes.
26' FC Utrecht are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined SBV Excelsior backline.
31' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ali Messaoud, as he is very good at scoring at Stadion Galgenwaard with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
36' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
41' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
46' Lorenzo Burnet has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 149 appearances.
51' SBV Excelsior fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
56' FC Utrecht are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
60' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jeffrey Fortes.
63' The crowd applauds Jean-Christophe Bahebeck as he leaves the pitch. Nick Venema steps in for FC Utrecht.
66' Another substitution for FC Utrecht to replace Timo Letschert by Emil Bergstrom on 66 minute.
67' The crowd applauds Lorenzo Burnet as he leaves the pitch. Robin van der Meer steps in for SBV Excelsior.
72' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both FC Utrecht and SBV Excelsior are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
77' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Utrecht is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
78' Another substitution for FC Utrecht to replace Gyrano Kerk by Michiel Kramer on 78 minute.
80' The SBV Excelsior bench stirs into life. Dennis Eckert is withdrawn and Mikael Anderson gets his opportunity.
85' It looks surprising FC Utrecht does not make any changes. Jerdy Schouten has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
87' The whistle greets Marcus Edwards as he departs to be replaced by Dogucan Haspolat.
90' Ali Messaoud is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
The final score is 0-0.
