Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Abe Lenstra Stadion. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' Willem II Tilburg is showing some good football. However, Willem II Tilburg are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 11' GOAL! Ion Nicolaescu scores on 11. Assisted by Luuk Brouwers
  • 16' 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 Rob Nizet suffering a number of foals already.
  • 21' It looks surprising SC Heerenveen does not make any changes. Amine Lachkar has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 26' It’s high time Peter Maes made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 31' Willem II Tilburg is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 32' GOAL! Sam Kersten scores on 32.
  • 37' Amara Conde needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 42' It looks like no one’s ball. Willem II Tilburg is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 46' Another change for SC Heerenveen made on 46 minute. Luuk Brouwers leaves to be changed by Espen van Ee.
  • 51' 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.
  • 56' The travelling Willem II Tilburg supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 61' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 61 minutes.
  • 64' It is a substitution in Willem II Tilburg team. Runar THor Sigurgeirsson is replaced by Rob Nizet on 64 minute.
  • 66' GOAL! Ilias Sebaoui scores on 66. Assisted by Espen van Ee

  • 86' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Raffael Behounek made 165 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 88' A meaty challenge results in booking for Raffael Behounek on 88.
  • 89' SC Heerenveen manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Eser Gurbuz is hanging Alireza Jahanbakhsh on the field on 89 minute.
