Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Sparta Rotterdam gets underway.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. RKC Waalwijk is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Oskar Zawada, as he is very good at scoring at Mandemakers Stadion with 4 goals in the last 3 games.
  • 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tobias Lauritsen made 230 appearances and scored 38 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 26' Arno Verschueren is having his name booked by the referee on 26.
  • 31' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. RKC Waalwijk needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 32' GOAL! Mohamed Nassoh scores on 32.
  • 37' Dario Van den Buijs has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 42' 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.
  • 46' RKC Waalwijk manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Tim van de Loo is hanging Chris Lokesa on the field on 46 minute.
  • 51' RKC Waalwijk is showing some good football. However, RKC Waalwijk are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 52' It is a substitution in RKC Waalwijk team. Roshon van Eijma is replaced by Julian Lelieveld on 52 minute.
  • 55' Goal! Camiel Neghli scores his 13 goal in 35 matches.
  • 60' RKC Waalwijk is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 63' Time for substitution for Sparta Rotterdam. Teo Quintero is replaced by Rick Meissen.
  • 66' Goal! Richonell Margaret scores his 9 goal in 282 matches.
  • 71' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 76' It looks surprising Sparta Rotterdam does not make any changes. Metinho has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 78' Another change for Sparta Rotterdam made on 78 minute. Pelle Clement leaves to be changed by Metinho.
  • 83' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 83 minutes.
  • 85' Another substitution for Sparta Rotterdam to replace Camiel Neghli by Shunsuke Mito on 85 minute.
  • 90' The travelling Sparta Rotterdam supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Sparta Rotterdam players.
