Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at De Goffert. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His NEC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 20' SC Heerenveen have won 356 goals from 369 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 25' 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 Oliver Braude suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Tjaronn Chery is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for SC Heerenveen so far.
- 35' SC Heerenveen are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 40' It looks like no one’s ball. SC Heerenveen is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 45' NEC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 45.
- 50' The whistle greets Tjaronn Chery as he departs to be replaced by Lasse Schone.
- 55' It looks surprising SC Heerenveen does not make any changes. Youri Baas has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 60' Patrik Walemark has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
- 65' It’s high time Kees van Wonderen made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 67' The Japan Koki Ogawa breaks the deadlock on 67 minutes. 1-0!
- 68' Roberto Gonzalez has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 68 minutes.
- 68' Another change for SC Heerenveen made on 68 minute. Patrik Walemark leaves to be changed by Che Nunnely.
- 73' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 73 minutes.
- 74' It is a substitution in SC Heerenveen team. Pelle van Amersfoort is replaced by Daniel Karlsbakk on 74 minute.
- 79' SC Heerenveen come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 82' A change in the NEC ranks — Koki Ogawa exits the field as Sylla Sow enters on 82.
- 87' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 88' The NEC manager makes a substitution. Roberto Gonzalez departs to be replaced by Calvin Verdonk.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
