- 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 15' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 20' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 25' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 27' Levi Smans puts SC Heerenveen on the lead.
- 32' Both keepers have barely been tested. SC Heerenveen and RKC Waalwijk are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.

- 51' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 56' 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.
