Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Abe Lenstra Stadion!
  • 5' Goal! Henk Veerman scores his 28 goal in 273 matches.
  • 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 15' Ibrahim Dresevic, a Kosovo , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 20' With 0 assists to his name this season, Milan van Ewijk is clearly more than just a goal scorer for SC Heerenveen.
  • 25' SC Heerenveen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
  • 30' Fortuna Sittard have won 303 goals from 265 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SC Heerenveen needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 40' Fortuna Sittard seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 45' Martin Angha has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 50' SC Heerenveen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 55' SC Heerenveen is showing some good football. However, SC Heerenveen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 59' Fortuna Sittard receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 59.
  • 63' Another change for Fortuna Sittard made on 63 minute. Emil Hansson leaves to be changed by Toshio Lake.
  • 64' Controversy at the stadium! Ibrahim Dresevic argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 69' Anthony Musaba has so much to prove this time. He replaces Siem de Jong on 69 minute.
  • 70' A tactical swap from SC Heerenveen — Anthony Musaba on, Siem de Jong off on 70 minutes.
  • 74' Fortuna Sittard ring the changes. George Cox has done his job and it is now time for Tijjani Noslin to step up.
  • 76' That is a Yellow card for Fortuna Sittard. Samy Baghdadi will be fuming at that decision.
  • 80' The SC Heerenveen bench stirs into life. Tibor Halilovic is withdrawn and Rami Hajal gets his opportunity.
  • 85' Emil Hansson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 90' SC Heerenveen are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Fortuna Sittard's shape.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for SC Heerenveen players.
