  • 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' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SC Heerenveen that had 369 games and scored 356 goals.
  • 15' 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 Mats Kohlert suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.

  • 65' Sparta Rotterdam fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 70' 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.
