Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — FC Utrecht and Sparta Rotterdam get this one started.
  • 5' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 6' Brilliant from the ! Daishawn Redan makes it 1-0 with a superb finish on 6.
  • 11' With 0 assists to his name this season, Taylor Booth is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Sparta Rotterdam.
  • 16' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 16 minutes.
  • 21' Jeremy van Mullem has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 26' Sven Mijnans has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 31' Adil Auassar is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Utrecht tonight.
  • 36' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 41' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 46' Another substitution for Sparta Rotterdam to replace Dirk Abels by Shurandy Sambo on 46 minute.
  • 48' The Greece Anastasios Douvikas breaks the deadlock on 48 minutes. 2-0!
  • 53' FC Utrecht are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 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 Mica Pinto suffering a number of foals already.
  • 63' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His FC Utrecht side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 67' Another change for FC Utrecht made on 67 minute. Taylor Booth leaves to be changed by Othman Boussaid.
  • 72' A change in the FC Utrecht ranks — Daishawn Redan exits the field as Bas Dost enters on 72.
  • 75' The crowd applauds Mike van der Hoorn as he leaves the pitch. Ruben Kluivert steps in for FC Utrecht.
  • 79' Against the run of play, Sean Klaiber has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 84' What a strike from Joshua Kitolano! The score is 3-1.
  • 86' The Sparta Rotterdam bench stirs into life. Bart Vriends is withdrawn and Mario Engels gets his opportunity.
  • 90' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Maurice Steijn.
  • The final score is 3-1.
