Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Sparta Rotterdam kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Suriname international Djevencio van der Kust has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 6' Bart Vriends adds to his 0 season tally! Sparta Rotterdam lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 7' What composure from Bart Vriends! The Netherlands international strokes it home. 0-2.
  • 12' Robert Muhren, a Netherlands , has 2 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 13' What a moment for Milan de Haan! That strike on 13 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 18' Arno Verschueren is a natural midfielder and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Volendam tonight.
  • 23' FC Volendam have won 91 goals from 102 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 28' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Volendam is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 33' Oskar Buur has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 37' A meaty challenge results in booking for Tijs Velthuis on 37.
  • 42' What composure from Joshua Kitolano! The Norway international strokes it home. 1-3.
  • 47' 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 Camiel Neghli suffering a number of foals already.
  • 52' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 57' The travelling Sparta Rotterdam supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 62' FC Volendam 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.
  • 63' A tactical swap from FC Volendam — Deron Payne on, Oskar Buur off on 63 minutes.
  • 68' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Volendam needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 73' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 78' Supporters expect more eagerness from Quincy Hoeve, as he is very good at scoring at Kras Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 83' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 84' A tactical swap from FC Volendam — Quincy Hoeve on, Robert Muhren off on 84 minutes.
  • 87' The Netherlands Bart Vriends breaks the deadlock on 87 minutes. 1-4!
  • 90' Another change for Sparta Rotterdam made on 90 minute. Camiel Neghli leaves to be changed by Rick Meissen.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for FC Volendam.
