Events
Match Events
- 0' What a night it is going to be! SC Heerenveen welcome Sparta Rotterdam for this crunch clash at Abe Lenstra Stadion.
- 5' Nicolas Madsen has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 2 goals to his name this season.
- 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

- 20' SC Heerenveen looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Maxence Rivera scoring 1 goals.
- 25' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Henk Fraser will be considering his options from the bench.
- 30' 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 Mica Pinto suffering a number of foals already.
- 34' Controversy at the stadium! Nick Bakker argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 39' SC Heerenveen currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.

- 46' Rami Hajal is ready to make an impact after coming on for Anthony Musaba at the 46 minute mark.
