Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and SBV Excelsior launch into their encounter with Sparta Rotterdam.
  • 2' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Redouan El Yaakoubi.
  • 7' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both SBV Excelsior and Sparta Rotterdam are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 12' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 17' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 22' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 22 minutes.
  • 27' Sparta Rotterdam fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 32' Serano Seymor has so much to prove this time. He replaces Sven Nieuwpoort on 32 minute.
  • 37' SBV Excelsior looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Nesto Groen scoring 1 goals.

  • 55' Sparta Rotterdam come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 59' What a strike from Jonathan de Guzman! The score is 0-1.
  • 64' 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 Siebe Horemans suffering a number of foals already.
  • 69' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 71' SBV Excelsior ring the changes. Couhaib Driouech has done his job and it is now time for Lazaros Lamprou to step up.

  • 86' 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.
  • 90' The crowd applauds Charles-Andreas Brym as he leaves the pitch. Jesse Bal steps in for Sparta Rotterdam.
  • 90' Poor challenge from Bart Vriends. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
