Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. SC Heerenveen host NEC — let the battle begin!
- 5' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 10' Sontje Hansen, a Curacao , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 15' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 20' SC Heerenveen looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Dylan Vente scoring 1 goals.
- 25' Lefteris Lyratzis has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 30' SC Heerenveen are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined NEC backline.
- 35' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 45' It looks like no one’s ball. SC Heerenveen is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 46' The crowd applauds Philippe Sandler as he leaves the pitch. Ivan Marquez steps in for NEC.
- 51' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 53' What a moment for Ion Nicolaescu! That strike on 53 puts his side firmly in control.
- 58' Dirk Proper needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 60' Koki Ogawa is ready to make an impact after coming on for Sontje Hansen at the 60 minute mark.
- 64' A tactical swap from SC Heerenveen — Denzel Hall on, Hristiyan Petrov off on 64 minutes.
- 69' Ivan Marquez has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 73' That looks like a foul for a card for Calvin Verdonk.
- 76' That looks like a foul for a card for Vito van Crooij.
- 80' Another change for SC Heerenveen made on 80 minute. Ion Nicolaescu leaves to be changed by Milos Lukovic.
- 81' The SC Heerenveen manager makes a substitution. Jacob Trenskow departs to be replaced by Espen van Ee.
- 82' Dirk Proper picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 84' The referee shows NEC player a card on 84.
- 89' The travelling NEC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 90' A change in the SC Heerenveen ranks — Levi Smans exits the field as Eser Gurbuz enters on 90.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for SC Heerenveen and NEC (для сухой ничьи).
