Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — FC Utrecht and SC Heerenveen get this one started.
  • 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SC Heerenveen that had 369 games and scored 356 goals.
  • 15' With 0 assists to his name this season, Sebastien Haller is clearly more than just a goal scorer for SC Heerenveen.

  • 32' 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.
  • 37' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 38' It’s gonna be a card for Oliver Braude.
  • 42' A moment of madness from Siebe Horemans on 42 minutes earns him a card. FC Utrecht will be frustrated.

  • 61' Yoann Cathline is ready to make an impact after coming on for Adrian Blake at the 61 minute mark.

  • 68' A quiet spell here at Stadion Galgenwaard. FC Utrecht seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 72' The FC Utrecht bench stirs into life. Sebastien Haller is withdrawn and David Min gets his opportunity.
  • 76' A change in the SC Heerenveen ranks — Alireza Jahanbakhsh exits the field as Eser Gurbuz enters on 76.
  • 81' 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.
  • 83' Time for substitution for SC Heerenveen. Ilias Sebaoui is replaced by Milos Lukovic.
