Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Abe Lenstra Stadion that hosts another battle between SC Heerenveen and Fortuna Sittard.
  • 5' SC Heerenveen are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 10' It looks surprising SC Heerenveen does not make any changes. Joey Veerman has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 20' Ben Rienstra has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 20 minutes.
  • 24' George Cox has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 24 minutes.
  • 29' SC Heerenveen are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Fortuna Sittard's shape.
  • 34' The home supporters are growing impatient. SC Heerenveen must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 37' Against the run of play, Zian Flemming has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 42' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 46' Arjen van der Heide is ready to make an impact after coming on for Benjamin Nygren at the 46 minute mark.
  • 51' Fortuna Sittard are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 56' Sweden international Emil Hansson has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 60' The SC Heerenveen bench stirs into life. Jan Paul van Hecke is withdrawn and Ibrahim Dresevic gets his opportunity.
  • 65' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 70' 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 Tesfaldet Tekie suffering a number of foals already.
  • 72' GOAL! Henk Veerman fires home to make it 1-3!
  • 74' Mitchell van Bergen makes way for Oliver Batista-Meier at the 74 minute mark. A tactical switch from SC Heerenveen.
  • 79' Mitchell van Bergen has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 80' A change in the Fortuna Sittard ranks — Lisandro Semedo exits the field as Jorrit Smeets enters on 80.
  • 85' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 87' SC Heerenveen manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Rein Smit is hanging Rodney Kongolo on the field on 87 minute.
  • 90' Fortuna Sittard ring the changes. Emil Hansson has done his job and it is now time for Arian Kastrati to step up.
  • Full Time. Fortuna Sittard beats SC Heerenveen
