  • 25' SC Heerenveen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 30' 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.
  • 35' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 40' The travelling FC Utrecht supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

  • 79' Othman Boussaid makes way for Odysseus Velanas at the 79 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Utrecht.
  • 81' SC Heerenveen manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Rami Hajal is hanging Lasse Schone on the field on 81 minute.
