Events
Match Events
- 0' And we are off! Heracles Almelo vs SC Heerenveen — let the football do the talking.
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Heracles Almelo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 9' Che Nunnely does the damage! The net is bulging and SC Heerenveen surge ahead!
- 14' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SC Heerenveen needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 19' Heracles Almelo are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against SC Heerenveen's 4-2-3-1 shape.
- 24' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SC Heerenveen that had 374 games and scored 364 goals.
- 29' Bryan Limbombe is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Heracles Almelo tonight.
- 34' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 39' Supporters expect more eagerness from Luuk Brouwers, as he is very good at scoring at Erve Asito with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 44' A meaty challenge results in booking for Marko Vejinovic on 44.
- 45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Thom Haye on 45.
- 50' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 55' Ajdin Hrustic needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 26 Yellow cards this season.
- 60' Loizos Loizou has so much to prove this time. He replaces Patrik Walemark on 60 minute.
- 61' Navajo Bakboord makes way for Jetro Willems at the 61 minute mark. A tactical switch from Heracles Almelo.
- 66' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 66 minutes.
- 71' Heracles Almelo is showing some good football. However, Heracles Almelo are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 74' Heracles Almelo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mohamed Sankoh is hanging Marko Vejinovic on the field on 74 minute.
- 79' Heracles Almelo have won 284 goals from 233 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 84' It is a cagey affair so far. Heracles Almelo in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past SC Heerenveen's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 87' The SC Heerenveen bench stirs into life. Che Nunnely is withdrawn and Nathan Tjoe-A-On gets his opportunity.
- 88' Pelle van Amersfoort has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 88 minutes.
- 90' Another change for SC Heerenveen made on 90 minute. Simon Olsson leaves to be changed by Charlie Webster.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
