Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Stadion Galgenwaard. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 6' GOAL! Anastasios Douvikas scores on 6. Assisted by Can Bozdogan
  • 11' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nathan Tjoe-A-On, as he is very good at scoring at Stadion Galgenwaard with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 16' Nick Viergever has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 5 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 19' Another substitution for SBV Excelsior to replace Julian Baas by Peer Koopmeiners on 19 minute.
  • 24' SBV Excelsior come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 29' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 34' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Utrecht needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 39' It looks surprising FC Utrecht does not make any changes. Mike van Duinen has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 44' Peer Koopmeiners has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
  • 45' Peer Koopmeiners was booked on 45.
  • 50' It’s high time Marinus Dijkhuizen made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 55' 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 Nikolas Agrafiotis suffering a number of foals already.
  • 57' Poor challenge from Taylor Booth. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 58' Taylor Booth is having his name booked by the referee on 58.
  • 61' A change in the FC Utrecht ranks — Othman Boussaid exits the field as Amin Younes enters on 61.
  • 62' SBV Excelsior manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Nikolas Agrafiotis is hanging Reda Kharchouch on the field on 62 minute.
  • 67' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 72' 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.
  • 77' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 79' A change in the FC Utrecht ranks — Taylor Booth exits the field as Luuk Brouwers enters on 79.
  • 80' The whistle greets Taylor Booth as he departs to be replaced by Luuk Brouwers.
  • 81' The supporters are chanting for Maxime Awoudja. He replaces Sven Nieuwpoort on 81 minute.
  • 82' Maxime Awoudja is replacing Sven Nieuwpoort for the SBV Excelsior side.
  • 86' The referee calls foul for Marouan Azarkan. He receives a Yellow card.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
