Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Erve Asito will turn into a battlefield for Heracles Almelo and Fortuna Sittard.
- 5' Netherlands international Ruben Roosken has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 15' The travelling Fortuna Sittard supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 25' Fortuna Sittard are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 35' Fortuna Sittard fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 40' Both keepers have barely been tested. Heracles Almelo and Fortuna Sittard are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 45' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 50' Daan Bisschops, a Netherlands defender, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 55' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 60' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Danny Buijs will be considering his options from the bench.
- 65' A tactical swap from Fortuna Sittard — Mouhamed Belkheir on, Kristoffer Peterson off on 65 minutes.
- 70' Brian De Keersmaecker has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 8 cards already picked up this season.
- 71' Poor challenge from Sem Scheperman. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 76' 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 Bryan Limbombe suffering a number of foals already.
- 81' Heracles Almelo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jetro Willems is hanging Sem Scheperman on the field on 81 minute.
- 83' A change in the Fortuna Sittard ranks — Alessio Da Cruz exits the field as Iman Griffith enters on 83.
- 86' Bryan Limbombe has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ajdin Hrustic on 86 minute.
- 90' Sjors-Lowis Hermsen is ready to make an impact after coming on for Inigo Cordoba at the 90 minute mark.
- celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
