  • 15' 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.
  • 20' It looks surprising Sparta Rotterdam does not make any changes. Amin Sarr has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' Sydney van Hooijdonk has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 25.
  • 30' Sven Mijnans, a Netherlands midfielder, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.

  • 55' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 60' It looks like no one’s ball. SC Heerenveen is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 65' The energy levels are beginning to show. Kees van Wonderen might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 70' SC Heerenveen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 70.
  • 74' Another change for Sparta Rotterdam made on 74 minute. Arno Verschueren leaves to be changed by Sven Mijnans.
  • 78' Sparta Rotterdam ring the changes. Younes Namli has done his job and it is now time for Joshua Kitolano to step up.

  • 86' Simon Olsson is ready to make an impact after coming on for Thom Haye at the 86 minute mark.
