Events

Match Events

  • 0' Temperatures are rising at Stadion Galgenwaard as FC Utrecht face off against SBV Excelsior in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
  • 5' The 25-year-old Derensili Sanches Fernandes has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 10' FC Utrecht currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 15' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Utrecht that had 317 games and scored 433 goals.
  • 25' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His FC Utrecht side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 30' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 35' 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.
  • 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 41' Time for substitution for FC Utrecht. Mike van der Hoorn is replaced by Can Bozdogan.
  • 46' Souffian El Karouani has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yannick Leliendal on 46 minute.
  • 51' The travelling SBV Excelsior supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 53' A stunning finish from Couhaib Driouech — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 58' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 62' A goal from the Greece international Lazaros Lamprou! He fires home on 62 to make it 0-2!
  • 66' The FC Utrecht bench stirs into life. Taylor Booth is withdrawn and Mats Seuntjens gets his opportunity.
  • 70' A stunning finish from Can Bozdogan — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 75' Mimeirhel Benita is ready to make an impact after coming on for Troy Parrott at the 75 minute mark.

  • 83' SBV Excelsior player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 88' 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 Arthur Zagre suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Modibo Sagnan.
  • 90' The SBV Excelsior bench stirs into life. Couhaib Driouech is withdrawn and Derensili Sanches Fernandes gets his opportunity.
  • celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
