Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Sparta Rotterdam get us underway at Mandemakers Stadion.
  • 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 Joshua Kitolano suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' The 29-year-old Tobias Lauritsen has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 15' A quiet spell here at Mandemakers Stadion. RKC Waalwijk seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 26' Arno Verschueren was booked on 26.
  • 31' RKC Waalwijk are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 32' Mohamed Nassoh makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Sparta Rotterdam are in front.
  • 37' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 37 minutes.
  • 42' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 46' Tim van de Loo gets the nod from RKC Waalwijk. He replaces Chris Lokesa and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 51' With 0 assists to his name this season, Mike Eerdhuijzen is clearly more than just a goal scorer for RKC Waalwijk.
  • 52' Julian Lelieveld gets the nod from RKC Waalwijk. He replaces Roshon van Eijma and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 55' Camiel Neghli adds to his 2 season tally! Sparta Rotterdam lead 0-2 — and this changes everything.
  • 60' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His RKC Waalwijk side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 63' The whistle greets Teo Quintero as he departs to be replaced by Rick Meissen.
  • 66' Richonell Margaret doubles the advantage! 1-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 71' Sparta Rotterdam started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 71.
  • 76' Rick Meissen has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
  • 78' Metinho gets the nod from Sparta Rotterdam. He replaces Pelle Clement and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 83' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Godfried Roemeratoe made 249 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 85' Another substitution for Sparta Rotterdam to replace Camiel Neghli by Shunsuke Mito on 85 minute.
  • 90' Sparta Rotterdam come into this ranked 9 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Sparta Rotterdam players.
