Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds De Adelaarshorst will turn into a battlefield for Go Ahead Eagles and SBV Excelsior.
- 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 Nathan Markelo suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' It looks surprising Go Ahead Eagles does not make any changes. Bobby Adekanye has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' Julian Baas is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for SBV Excelsior tonight.
- 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
- 25' The 27-year-old Adrian Fein has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 30' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Rene Hake will be considering his options from the bench.
- 34' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Yassin Ayoub.
- 39' Against the run of play, Willum Willumsson has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 40' What composure from Willum Willumsson! The international strokes it home. 2-0.
- 41' The deadlock is broken! Bobby Adekanye gets on the scoresheet on 41 minutes.
- 42' The Netherlands Bobby Adekanye breaks the deadlock on 42 minutes. 4-0!
- 46' SBV Excelsior manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Maxime Awoudja is hanging Serano Seymor on the field on 46 minute.
- 51' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SBV Excelsior that had 140 games and scored 162 goals.
- 54' A meaty challenge results in booking for Julian Baas on 54.
- 59' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 61' The Sweden forward Isac Lidberg breaks the deadlock on 61 minutes. 5-0!
- 66' The whistle greets Yassin Ayoub as he departs to be replaced by Adrian Fein.
- 70' Reda Kharchouch has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 70.
- 72' Lazaros Lamprou doubles the advantage! 5-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 73' It is a substitution in SBV Excelsior team. Lazaros Lamprou is replaced by Mike van Duinen on 73 minute.
- 78' SBV Excelsior is showing some good football. However, SBV Excelsior are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 80' Finn Stokkers has so much to prove this time. He replaces Bobby Adekanye on 80 minute.
- 81' The crowd applauds Marouan Azarkan as he leaves the pitch. Couhaib Driouech steps in for SBV Excelsior.
- 86' Germany international Maxime Awoudja has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 90' That is a Yellow card for SBV Excelsior. Kenzo Goudmijn will be fuming at that decision.
- The final score is 3-1.
