Events
Match Events
- 0' Go Ahead Eagles have kicked off against Sparta Rotterdam. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
- 2' It’s a booking for Sparta Rotterdam player. Patrick van Aanholt gets a card.
- 7' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kristian Hlynsson, as he is very good at scoring at De Adelaarshorst with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 12' The 30-year-old Victor Edvardsen has been sensational this season — 3 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 17' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 22' Go Ahead Eagles currently sit 7 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 26' Sparta Rotterdam make a change. Patrick van Aanholt trudges off to be replaced by Teo Quintero on 26 minutes.
- 31' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 33' A stunning finish from Jakob Breum — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 38' 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.
- 43' Netherlands international Mike Eerdhuijzen has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 48' 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 Patrick van Aanholt suffering a number of foals already.
- 52' Teo Quintero has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 52.
- 57' 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.
- 62' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 63' Mohamed Nassoh is ready to make an impact after coming on for Carel Eiting at the 63 minute mark.
- 64' A meaty challenge results in booking for Gjivai Zechiel on 64.
- 69' Go Ahead Eagles 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.
- 71' Nokkvi THorisson is replacing Gjivai Zechiel for the Sparta Rotterdam side.
- 76' It is a cagey affair so far. Go Ahead Eagles in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Sparta Rotterdam's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 81' Sparta Rotterdam have won 316 goals from 235 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 85' It is a substitution in Go Ahead Eagles team. Aske Adelgaard is replaced by Dean James on 85 minute.
- 86' Calvin Twigt makes way for Robbin Weijenberg at the 86 minute mark. A tactical switch from Go Ahead Eagles.
- 90' Milan Smit is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jakob Breum at the 90 minute mark.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for Go Ahead Eagles and Sparta Rotterdam (для сухой ничьи).
