Events
Match Events
- 0' Heracles Almelo have kicked off against SC Heerenveen. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
- 5' Norway international Morten Thorsby has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 10' The 26-year-old Kik Pierie has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 20' Heracles Almelo is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 25' Maximilian Rossmann has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 233 appearances.
- 27' The deadlock is broken! Brandley Kuwas gets on the scoresheet on 27 minutes.
- 32' Heracles Almelo are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined SC Heerenveen backline.
- 37' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 41' Sam Lammers doubles the advantage! 1-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 46' Dennis Johnsen is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for SC Heerenveen tonight.
- 51' Heracles Almelo currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 56' 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 Mitchell van Bergen suffering a number of foals already.
- 61' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 66' SC Heerenveen fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.

- 73' Magnificent from Adrian Dalmau! That is 32 goals in 233 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 75' Heracles Almelo ring the changes. Brandley Kuwas has done his job and it is now time for Silvester van der Water to step up.
- 80' The home supporters are growing impatient. Heracles Almelo must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 81' Another substitution for SC Heerenveen to replace Michel Vlap by Dennis Johnsen on 81 minute.
- 86' It looks surprising SC Heerenveen does not make any changes. Michel Vlap has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 87' Fresh legs for Heracles Almelo! Mats Knoester comes on to replace Dabney dos Santos.
- 88' A change in the SC Heerenveen ranks — Yuki Kobayashi exits the field as Jizz Hornkamp enters on 88.
- With this win, Heracles Almelo is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
