Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Sparta Rotterdam get us underway at De Adelaarshorst.
  • 5' Go Ahead Eagles started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' A quiet spell here at De Adelaarshorst. Go Ahead Eagles seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Go Ahead Eagles and Sparta Rotterdam are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 20' Go Ahead Eagles are deployed in a 4-4-2 today, looking to exploit space against Sparta Rotterdam's 4-2-3-1 shape.
  • 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' 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 Pelle Clement suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' Jamal Amofa has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 100 appearances.
  • 40' Jonathan de Guzman, a Netherlands defensive midfielder, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Oliver Edvardsen made 182 appearances and scored 30 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 50' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 55' It is a cagey affair so far. Go Ahead Eagles in their 4-4-2 trying to find a way past Sparta Rotterdam's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 60' Mats Deijl needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 13 Yellow cards this season.
  • 65' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 70' It looks like no one’s ball. Go Ahead Eagles is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 75' Go Ahead Eagles have won 232 goals from 182 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 78' Go Ahead Eagles ring the changes. Bobby Adekanye has done his job and it is now time for Sylla Sow to step up.
  • 79' Charles-Andreas Brym is replacing Jonathan de Guzman for the Sparta Rotterdam side.
  • 84' Sparta Rotterdam is showing some good football. However, Sparta Rotterdam are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 89' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 90' Go Ahead Eagles make a change. Oliver Edvardsen trudges off to be replaced by Jakob Breum on 90 minutes.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
