  • 2' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Patrick Joosten makes it 1-0.
  • 7' FC Emmen come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 12' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 17' FC Emmen 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.
  • 22' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Sparta Rotterdam and FC Emmen are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 27' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 29' Mohammed Rayhi makes no mistake. The score reads 2-0 and Sparta Rotterdam are in front.
  • 32' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Bart Vriends makes it 3-0.
  • 37' A meaty challenge results in booking for Hilal Ben Moussa on 37.
  • 42' Sparta Rotterdam currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 46' The FC Emmen bench stirs into life. Lorenzo Burnet is withdrawn and Keziah Veendorp gets his opportunity.
  • 51' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Laros Duarte made 230 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 54' Against the run of play, Michael de Leeuw has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 59' 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 Keziah Veendorp suffering a number of foals already.
  • 64' The whistle greets Hilal Ben Moussa as he departs to be replaced by Anco Jansen.
  • 65' Bryan Smeets is replacing Laros Duarte for the Sparta Rotterdam side.
  • 70' It looks like no one’s ball. Sparta Rotterdam is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 75' Michael Chacon has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 75.
  • 80' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 81' Miguel Araujo does the damage! The net is bulging and FC Emmen surge ahead!
  • 84' It is a substitution in Sparta Rotterdam team. Patrick Joosten is replaced by Dirk Abels on 84 minute.
  • 86' Magnificent from Abdou Harroui! That is 18 goals in 230 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
