Events

Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Heracles Almelo gets underway.
5' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Heracles Almelo and Fortuna Sittard are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rodrigo Guth made 536 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
15' Luka Kulenovic does the damage! The net is bulging and Heracles Almelo surge ahead!
20' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
21' Magnificent from Alessio Da Cruz! That is 13 goals in 391 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
26' Fortuna Sittard is showing some good football. However, Fortuna Sittard are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
30' Kristoffer Peterson puts Fortuna Sittard on the lead.
35' With 0 assists to his name this season, Fabian de Keijzer is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Fortuna Sittard.
37' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Alessio Da Cruz.
42' Brian De Keersmaecker has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
47' The travelling Fortuna Sittard supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
52' Loreintz Rosier has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 182 appearances.
57' Fortuna Sittard started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 57.
59' Goal! Ruben Roosken scores his 3 goal in 129 matches.
64' Fortuna Sittard fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
67' A change in the Heracles Almelo ranks — Suf Podgoreanu exits the field as Juho Talvitie enters on 67.
72' It’s high time Danny Buijs made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
75' The Heracles Almelo bench stirs into life. Mario Engels is withdrawn and Shiloh 't Zand gets his opportunity.
80' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 80 minutes.
81' A change in the Fortuna Sittard ranks — Alessio Da Cruz exits the field as Ante Erceg enters on 81.
83' The whistle greets Ruben Roosken as he departs to be replaced by Lorenzo Milani.
88' The whistle greets Mitchell Dijks as he departs to be replaced by Jasper Dahlhaus.
90' A moment of madness from Sem Scheperman on 90 minutes earns him a card. Heracles Almelo will be frustrated.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
