  • 10' Jeremy van Mullem, a Netherlands , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 15' Sparta Rotterdam is showing some good football. However, Sparta Rotterdam are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 20' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 25' Arno Verschueren has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 1 goals this season.

  • 34' Tobias Lauritsen has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 34 minutes.
  • 39' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Vito van Crooij made 244 appearances and scored 44 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 44' Pelle Clement has been relatively quiet despite scoring 10 goals in his last 394 appearances.

  • 62' GOAL! Koki Saito fires home to make it 0-3!
  • 67' 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.

  • 71' Pawel Bochniewicz doubles the advantage! 1-3 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 76' It looks surprising Sparta Rotterdam does not make any changes. Simon Olsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 84' With 0 assists to his name this season, Joshua Kitolano is clearly more than just a goal scorer for SC Heerenveen.
