Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Stadion Galgenwaard. Ninety minutes of football awaits between FC Utrecht and SC Heerenveen.
  • 5' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His FC Utrecht side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Kees van Wonderen might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 15' SC Heerenveen come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 25' 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 Othman Boussaid suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' FC Utrecht are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 35' The travelling SC Heerenveen supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 40' Tibor Halilovic has been relatively quiet despite scoring 9 goals in his last 16 appearances.
  • 45' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 46' Rami Hajal is ready to make an impact after coming on for Pelle van Amersfoort at the 46 minute mark.
  • 48' Fresh legs for SC Heerenveen! Syb Van Ottele comes on to replace Jeffrey Bruma.
  • 53' Over 53 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 58' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 63' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Utrecht and SC Heerenveen are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 66' That is a Yellow card for SC Heerenveen. Pawel Bochniewicz will be fuming at that decision.
  • 69' Anastasios Douvikas doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 70' Another substitution for SC Heerenveen to replace Antoine Colassin by Osame Sahraoui on 70 minute.
  • 70' Anastasios Douvikas adds to his 0 season tally! FC Utrecht lead 2-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 71' SC Heerenveen manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Osame Sahraoui is hanging Antoine Colassin on the field on 71 minute.
  • 74' The supporters are chanting for Mark van der Maarel. He replaces Modibo Sagnan on 74 minute.
  • 79' FC Utrecht currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 84' Jens Toornstra catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 84.
  • 85' FC Utrecht ring the changes. Taylor Booth has done his job and it is now time for Naoki Maeda to step up.
  • 86' A moment of madness from Syb Van Ottele on 86 minutes earns him a Yellow card. SC Heerenveen will be frustrated.
  • 89' SC Heerenveen ring the changes. Anas Tahiri has done his job and it is now time for Tibor Halilovic to step up.
  • 90' Another substitution for SC Heerenveen to replace Anas Tahiri by Tibor Halilovic on 90 minute.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for SC Heerenveen.
