0' That's the starting whistle at Het Kasteel. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Sparta Rotterdam and AZ.
5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AZ that had 315 games and scored 593 goals.
9' GOAL! Peer Koopmeiners fires home to make it 0-1!
14' Sparta Rotterdam are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
16' Tobias Lauritsen does the damage! The net is bulging and Sparta Rotterdam surge ahead!
21' Supporters expect more eagerness from Said Bakari, as he is very good at scoring at Het Kasteel with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
26' Dave Kwakman needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
31' It looks like no one’s ball. Sparta Rotterdam is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
36' Patrick van Aanholt, a Netherlands defender, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
41' 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 Ruben van Bommel suffering a number of foals already.
45' That looks like a foul for a card for Said Bakari.
47' That looks like a foul for a card for Sven Mijnans.
52' It looks surprising Sparta Rotterdam does not make any changes. Joshua Kitolano has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
57' AZ fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
59' That looks like a foul for a card for Dave Kwakman.
64' The energy levels are beginning to show. might look to freshen things up shortly.
65' Seiya Maikuma gets the nod from AZ. He replaces David Wolfe and will look to change the dynamic.
66' It is a substitution in Sparta Rotterdam team. Patrick van Aanholt is replaced by Boyd Reith on 66 minute.
67' Shunsuke Mito is ready to make an impact after coming on for Arno Verschueren at the 67 minute mark.
72' The home supporters are growing impatient. Sparta Rotterdam must find a spark to ignite this game.
73' The deadlock is broken! Sven Mijnans gets on the scoresheet on 73 minutes.
77' The AZ manager makes a substitution. Mexx Meerdink departs to be replaced by Ruben van Bommel.
80' Time for substitution for Sparta Rotterdam. Joshua Kitolano is replaced by Camiel Neghli.
83' Ernest Poku is ready to make an impact after coming on for Kees Smit at the 83 minute mark.
85' The referee has no hesitation. Ernest Poku is booked for AZ — card on 85.
87' Time for substitution for Sparta Rotterdam. Said Bakari is replaced by Ayoub Oufkir.
90' A moment of madness from Mike Eerdhuijzen on 90 minutes earns him a card. Sparta Rotterdam will be frustrated.
Game over. The scoreline of 1-2 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
