0' The ball is rolling at Stadion Galgenwaard. FC Utrecht are looking to make home advantage count against SC Heerenveen.
5' The 19-year-old Eser Gurbuz has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
10' Ion Nicolaescu is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Utrecht so far.
15' 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 Sebastien Haller suffering a number of foals already.
20' Oscar Fraulo, a Denmark , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
22' A stunning finish from Miguel Rodriguez — that came from absolutely nowhere!

47' named a 4-4-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.

57' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
58' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Nikolai Hopland makes no mistake. 1-1!

68' The home supporters are growing impatient. FC Utrecht must find a spark to ignite this game.
72' Fresh legs for FC Utrecht! David Min comes on to replace Sebastien Haller.
76' The SC Heerenveen bench stirs into life. Alireza Jahanbakhsh is withdrawn and Eser Gurbuz gets his opportunity.
81' Mike van der Hoorn has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 5 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
