Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Heracles Almelo kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' 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 Luuk Brouwers suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 15' Poor challenge from Oliver Braude. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 20' Heracles Almelo currently sit 13 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 25' A stunning finish from Damon Mirani — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 30' Levi Smans has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 171 appearances.
  • 32' Heracles Almelo player sees a card in front of him.
  • 37' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Heracles Almelo side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 42' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 46' Espen van Ee has so much to prove this time. He replaces Amara Conde on 46 minute.
  • 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
  • 56' SC Heerenveen is showing some good football. However, SC Heerenveen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 57' Heracles Almelo make a change. Suf Podgoreanu trudges off to be replaced by Juho Talvitie on 57 minutes.
  • 59' Dimitris Rallis has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 59 minutes.
  • 60' Another substitution for SC Heerenveen to replace Oliver Braude by Denzel Hall on 60 minute.
  • 65' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 69' SC Heerenveen make a change. Nikolai Hopland trudges off to be replaced by Sam Kersten on 69 minutes.
  • 71' A change in the SC Heerenveen ranks — Dimitris Rallis exits the field as Daniel Karlsbakk enters on 71.
  • 72' The supporters are chanting for Jizz Hornkamp. He replaces Luka Kulenovic on 72 minute.
  • 75' Ruben Roosken catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. card on 75.
  • 80' 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.
  • 85' The energy levels are beginning to show. Erwin van de Looi might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 87' A goal from the Germany international Mario Engels! He fires home on 87 to make it 2-1!
  • 90' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Daniel Karlsbakk.
  • 90' Justin Hoogma gets the nod from Heracles Almelo. He replaces Mario Engels and will look to change the dynamic.
  • SC Heerenveen will have plenty to reflect on. Heracles Almelo were simply the better side today.
