Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Stadion Galgenwaard will turn into a battlefield for FC Utrecht and SC Heerenveen.
  • 5' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 10' The home supporters are growing impatient. FC Utrecht must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 15' SC Heerenveen is showing some good football. However, SC Heerenveen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 20' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Utrecht is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 21' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Moussa Sylla makes it 1-0.
  • 23' Willem Janssen doubles the advantage! 1-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 28' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 33' FC Utrecht 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.
  • 35' Rodney Kongolo was booked on 35.
  • 40' Benaissa Benamar has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Hamdi Akujobi made 369 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 48' Mark van der Maarel picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 53' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 58' 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 Arjen van der Heide suffering a number of foals already.
  • 63' FC Utrecht currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 64' The supporters are chanting for Hidde ter Avest. He replaces Mark van der Maarel on 64 minute.
  • 65' A tactical swap from FC Utrecht — Sander van de Streek on, Quinten Timber off on 65 minutes.
  • 70' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 75' The whistle greets Arjen van der Heide as he departs to be replaced by Henk Veerman.
  • 80' GOAL! Sander van de Streek fires home to make it 2-1!
  • 82' Mohamed Mallahi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Moussa Sylla on 82 minute.
  • 85' SC Heerenveen make a change. Rodney Kongolo trudges off to be replaced by Rami Hajal on 85 minutes.
  • 88' The crowd applauds Mike van der Hoorn as he leaves the pitch. Benaissa Benamar steps in for FC Utrecht.
  • 90' The whistle greets Siem de Jong as he departs to be replaced by Hamdi Akujobi.
