Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and SC Heerenveen launch into their encounter with Heracles Almelo.
  • 5' 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 Sven Botman suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 12' Tim Breukers is having his name booked by the referee on 12.
  • 17' Rodney Kongolo is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for SC Heerenveen tonight.
  • 22' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both SC Heerenveen and Heracles Almelo are fighting for every inch of the pitch.

  • 48' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.

  • 56' What an equalizer from Joey Veerman!
  • 61' Tim Breukers has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 66' Time for substitution for Heracles Almelo. Mats Knoester is replaced by Dario Van den Buijs.
  • 71' The travelling Heracles Almelo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 76' Joey Konings is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for SC Heerenveen so far.

  • 84' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
