- 0' And we are off! SC Heerenveen vs Heracles Almelo — let the football do the talking.
- 5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 6' What a moment for Delano Burgzorg! That strike on 6 puts his side firmly in control.
- 11' 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 Rami Hajal suffering a number of foals already.
- 16' SC Heerenveen are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 21' It looks surprising SC Heerenveen does not make any changes. Joey Veerman has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 26' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both SC Heerenveen and Heracles Almelo are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 31' Both keepers have barely been tested. SC Heerenveen and Heracles Almelo are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 33' Sinan Bakis was booked on 33.
- 38' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.

- 48' Mats Knoester doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 53' Heracles Almelo is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 54' That is a Yellow card for SC Heerenveen. Jan Paul van Hecke will be fuming at that decision.
- 57' GOAL! Joey Veerman scores on 57.
- 58' Oliver Batista-Meier gets the nod from SC Heerenveen. He replaces Rodney Kongolo and will look to change the dynamic.
