Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for SC Heerenveen to score. At the same time, VVV Venlo does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 15' It looks like no one’s ball. VVV Venlo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' VVV Venlo 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.
  • 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 30' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 32' GOAL! Joey Veerman scores on 32.
  • 37' It looks surprising SC Heerenveen does not make any changes. Evert Linthorst has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 42' 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.
  • 46' The whistle greets Danny Post as he departs to be replaced by Simon Jansson.
  • 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
  • 56' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SC Heerenveen needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 57' A meaty challenge results in booking for Sheral Floranus on 57.
  • 62' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Vito van Crooij.
  • 63' The referee shows VVV Venlo player a Red card on 63.
  • 68' The SC Heerenveen manager makes a substitution. Oliver Batista-Meier departs to be replaced by Rami Hajal.
  • 73' VVV Venlo is showing some good football. However, VVV Venlo are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 78' 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 Thorsten Kirschbaum suffering a number of foals already.
  • 79' The referee calls foul for Simon Jansson. He receives a Red card.
  • 82' Another change for SC Heerenveen made on 82 minute. Joey Veerman leaves to be changed by Ibrahim Dresevic.
  • 87' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering VVV Venlo that had 171 games and scored 118 goals.
