Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Abe Lenstra Stadion!
  • 5' Mitchell van Bergen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 12 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 15' The 32-year-old Adrian Dalmau has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 25' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Rene Hake will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 30' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Utrecht that had 329 games and scored 454 goals.
  • 40' A quiet spell here at Abe Lenstra Stadion. FC Utrecht seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 45' Hidde ter Avest needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 50' 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 Lasse Schone suffering a number of foals already.
  • 55' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 56' The supporters are chanting for Joey Veerman. He replaces Sheral Floranus on 56 minute.

  • 67' SC Heerenveen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 67.
  • 71' The crowd applauds Tibor Halilovic as he leaves the pitch. Benjamin Nygren steps in for SC Heerenveen.
  • 76' SC Heerenveen are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against FC Utrecht's shape.
  • 79' The whistle greets Othman Boussaid as he departs to be replaced by Odysseus Velanas.
  • 81' Rami Hajal gets the nod from SC Heerenveen. He replaces Lasse Schone and will look to change the dynamic.
