- 15' The travelling Heracles Almelo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' Heracles Almelo 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.
- 21' Goal! Mario Engels scores his 12 goal in 154 matches.
- 26' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 26 minutes.
- 31' It looks like no one’s ball. Heracles Almelo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 35' What an equalizer from Jacob Trenskow!
- 40' Heracles Almelo is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 45' Heracles Almelo receives a card for a hard tackle on 45.
- 46' It is a substitution in Heracles Almelo team. Lequincio Zeefuik is replaced by Tristan van Gilst on 46 minute.

- 64' The supporters are chanting for Luuk Brouwers. He replaces Joris van Overeem on 64 minute.
- 69' 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 Oliver Braude suffering a number of foals already.
- 74' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Heracles Almelo needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 77' SC Heerenveen manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mats Egbring is hanging Vasilios Zagaritis on the field on 77 minute.

- 85' Eser Gurbuz is replacing Jacob Trenskow for the SC Heerenveen side.
- 90' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
