Events

Match Events

0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Sparta Rotterdam and AZ get this one started.
5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
9' Magnificent from Peer Koopmeiners! That is 5 goals in 304 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
14' 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 Joshua Kitolano suffering a number of foals already.
16' What a moment for Tobias Lauritsen! That strike on 16 puts his side firmly in control.
21' Netherlands international Mike Eerdhuijzen has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
26' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
31' Sparta Rotterdam have won 314 goals from 234 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
36' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
41' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
45' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Said Bakari.
47' Controversy at the stadium! Sven Mijnans argues furiously but the card stands.
52' Julian Baas has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
57' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
59' Dave Kwakman is having his name booked by the referee on 59.
64' Sparta Rotterdam are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined AZ backline.
65' Fresh legs for AZ! Seiya Maikuma comes on to replace David Wolfe.
66' Boyd Reith gets the nod from Sparta Rotterdam. He replaces Patrick van Aanholt and will look to change the dynamic.
67' Another change for Sparta Rotterdam made on 67 minute. Arno Verschueren leaves to be changed by Shunsuke Mito.
72' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
73' Sven Mijnans makes no mistake. The score reads 1-2 and AZ are in front.
77' The supporters are chanting for Ruben van Bommel. He replaces Mexx Meerdink on 77 minute.
80' Sparta Rotterdam ring the changes. Joshua Kitolano has done his job and it is now time for Camiel Neghli to step up.
83' The crowd applauds Kees Smit as he leaves the pitch. Ernest Poku steps in for AZ.
85' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Ernest Poku on 85 minutes.
87' The crowd applauds Said Bakari as he leaves the pitch. Ayoub Oufkir steps in for Sparta Rotterdam.
90' Mike Eerdhuijzen picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
The referee brings this contest to a close. AZ take all three points.
