Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. NEC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' NEC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Sparta Rotterdam backline.
  • 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Henk Fraser will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 19' Joeri de Kamps picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 20' The referee shows Sparta Rotterdam player a Yellow card on 20.
  • 25' DR Congo international Jonathan Okita has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 30' NEC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 35' Mattijs Branderhorst has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering NEC that had 177 games and scored 244 goals.
  • 45' 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.
  • 50' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 51' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Rodrigo Guth.
  • 55' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Rodrigo Guth.
  • 60' The home supporters are growing impatient. NEC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 65' The whistle greets Lennart Thy as he departs to be replaced by Adrian Dalmau.
  • 70' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. NEC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 75' NEC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 76' A tactical swap from NEC — Javier Vet on, Magnus Mattsson off on 76 minutes.
  • 79' Fresh legs for Sparta Rotterdam! Jeremy van Mullem comes on to replace Younes Namli.
  • 84' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 86' A change in the Sparta Rotterdam ranks — Vito van Crooij exits the field as Sven Mijnans enters on 86.
  • The points are shared — NEC 0-0 Sparta Rotterdam. Honours even.
