Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for SBV Excelsior to score. At the same time, Go Ahead Eagles does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' It looks surprising SBV Excelsior does not make any changes. Siebe Horemans has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ian Smeulers is clearly more than just a goal scorer for SBV Excelsior.
- 15' Go Ahead Eagles come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 20' Joris Kramer is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for SBV Excelsior so far.
- 25' Go Ahead Eagles is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 30' SBV Excelsior are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Go Ahead Eagles needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 40' Both keepers have barely been tested. SBV Excelsior and Go Ahead Eagles are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 45' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 46' The SBV Excelsior bench stirs into life. Noah Naujoks is withdrawn and Kian Fitz-Jim gets his opportunity.
- 51' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Lazaros Lamprou made 269 appearances and scored 17 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 54' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Jamal Amofa makes it 0-1.
- 59' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
