Events

Match Events

  • 10' 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.
  • 15' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 20' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 24' The Moldova Ion Nicolaescu breaks the deadlock on 24 minutes. 1-0!
  • 29' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 30' Against the run of play, Pawel Bochniewicz has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 35' 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.
  • 40' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both SC Heerenveen and RKC Waalwijk are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 43' Osame Sahraoui has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 43 minutes.

  • 71' The whistle greets Hussein Ali as he departs to be replaced by Denzel Hall.
  • 76' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering RKC Waalwijk that had 197 games and scored 250 goals.
  • 79' A meaty challenge results in booking for Kevin Felida on 79.
  • 84' A tactical swap from RKC Waalwijk — Patrick Vroegh on, Julian Lelieveld off on 84 minutes.
  • 89' SC Heerenveen 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.
