Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. FC Utrecht kicks off things out of here…
5' A quiet spell here at Stadion Galgenwaard. FC Utrecht seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
10' Nick Olij needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
12' What composure from Tobias Lauritsen! The Norway international strokes it home. 0-1.
17' It looks like no one’s ball. Sparta Rotterdam is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
22' It looks surprising Sparta Rotterdam does not make any changes. Yoann Cathline has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
27' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
32' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
36' What a moment for Paxten Aaronson! That strike on 36 puts his side firmly in control.
41' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
46' FC Utrecht are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Sparta Rotterdam's 4-3-3 shape.
51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
56' 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 Mike van der Hoorn suffering a number of foals already.
61' Mitchell van Bergen has been relatively quiet despite scoring 20 goals in his last 369 appearances.
66' With 0 assists to his name this season, Patrick van Aanholt is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Utrecht.
71' FC Utrecht have won 433 goals from 317 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
73' Adrian Blake gets the nod from FC Utrecht. He replaces Yoann Cathline and will look to change the dynamic.
78' FC Utrecht is showing some good football. However, FC Utrecht are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
83' Sparta Rotterdam 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.
85' Patrick van Aanholt is ready to make an impact after coming on for Mike Kleijn at the 85 minute mark.
86' The supporters are chanting for Victor Jensen. He replaces Miguel Rodriguez on 86 minute.
90' The referee calls foul for Mike van der Hoorn. He receives a card.
90' Joshua Kitolano has so much to prove this time. He replaces Pelle Clement on 90 minute.
Game over. The scoreline of 1-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
