Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. SC Heerenveen get us underway at Erve Asito.
  • 5' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 10' Heracles Almelo are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined SC Heerenveen backline.
  • 15' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Heracles Almelo and SC Heerenveen are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 20' It looks surprising SC Heerenveen does not make any changes. Anthony Musaba has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 30' Both keepers have barely been tested. Heracles Almelo and SC Heerenveen are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 35' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 39' Heracles Almelo receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 39.
  • 44' A quiet spell here at Erve Asito. Heracles Almelo seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 48' It’s a booking for Heracles Almelo player. Luca de la Torre gets a Yellow card.
  • 53' SC Heerenveen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 53.
  • 58' With 0 assists to his name this season, Rami Kaib is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Heracles Almelo.
  • 60' Sven van Beek has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 60.
  • 65' 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 Sven van Beek suffering a number of foals already.
  • 68' Rami Hajal is ready to make an impact after coming on for Filip Stevanovic at the 68 minute mark.
  • 73' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 74' Adrian Szoke is replacing Kaj Sierhuis for the Heracles Almelo side.
  • 75' The SC Heerenveen manager makes a substitution. Anthony Musaba departs to be replaced by Benjamin Nygren.
  • 79' Assisted by Benjamin Nygren with the perfectly-timed delivery and Joey Veerman makes no mistake. 0-1!
  • 82' Mats Knoester has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 82.
  • 84' Ruben Roosken has so much to prove this time. He replaces Giacomo Quagliata on 84 minute.
  • 89' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 90' Mohamed Amissi gets the nod from Heracles Almelo. He replaces Delano Burgzorg and will look to change the dynamic.
  • Heracles Almelo will have plenty to reflect on. SC Heerenveen were simply the better side today.
