Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! NAC Breda welcome Sparta Rotterdam for this crunch clash at Rat Verlegh Stadion.
  • 5' It looks surprising NAC Breda does not make any changes. Kristian Hlynsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 12' Carel Eiting does the damage! The net is bulging and Sparta Rotterdam surge ahead!
  • 17' The travelling Sparta Rotterdam supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 22' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both NAC Breda and Sparta Rotterdam are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 27' Nokkvi THorisson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 32' NAC Breda seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 37' Nick Olij needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 42' With 0 assists to his name this season, Max Balard is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Sparta Rotterdam.
  • 46' Sparta Rotterdam make a change. Shunsuke Mito trudges off to be replaced by Mohamed Nassoh on 46 minutes.
  • 51' 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 Terence Kongolo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 56' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sparta Rotterdam that had 230 games and scored 307 goals.

  • 74' Terence Kongolo gets the nod from NAC Breda. He replaces Clint Leemans and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 79' Mitchell van Bergen has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 80' Poor challenge from Mohamed Nassoh. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 85' NAC Breda are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Sparta Rotterdam backline.
