Match Events
- 0' Welcome to Stadion Feijenoord that hosts another battle between Feyenoord Rotterdam and Heracles Almelo.
- 5' 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 Teun Bijleveld suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Feyenoord Rotterdam started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Heracles Almelo that had 233 games and scored 284 goals.
- 25' Netherlands international Jens Toornstra has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 29' Mats Knoester was booked on 29.
- 34' The travelling Heracles Almelo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 35' The referee has no hesitation. Lucas Schoofs is booked for Heracles Almelo — Yellow card on 35.
- 40' Feyenoord Rotterdam is showing some good football. However, Feyenoord Rotterdam are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 45' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 45 minutes.
- 50' 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.
- 55' Feyenoord Rotterdam have won 629 goals from 322 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 56' The referee calls foul for Sinan Bakis. He receives a Yellow card.
- 58' Heracles Almelo player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 62' Steven Berghuis is ready to make an impact after coming on for Luciano Narsingh at the 62 minute mark.
- 66' It’s gonna be a Red card for Sinan Bakis.
- 71' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 76' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 81' Feyenoord Rotterdam manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Marouan Azarkan is hanging Uros Spajic on the field on 81 minute.
- 84' Heracles Almelo make a change. Rai Vloet trudges off to be replaced by Adrian Szoke on 84 minutes.
- 88' Naoufal Bannis is replacing Tyrell Malacia for the Feyenoord Rotterdam side.
