Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Sparta Rotterdam and FC Emmen has kicked off!
  • 5' Sergio Pena has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 5.
  • 6' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Anco Jansen on 6 minutes.
  • 11' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 16' The energy levels are beginning to show. Henk Fraser might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 21' The 39-year-old Adil Auassar has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 22' Deroy Duarte has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 22 minutes.
  • 27' FC Emmen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 27.
  • 32' Sparta Rotterdam are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FC Emmen backline.
  • 37' Marko Kolar, a Croatia , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 42' Sparta Rotterdam is showing some good football. However, Sparta Rotterdam are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 47' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Anco Jansen made 129 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 52' Goal! Miguel Araujo scores his 8 goal in 173 matches.
  • 57' The travelling FC Emmen supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

  • 67' Donis Avdijaj has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nikolai Laursen on 67 minute.
  • 72' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Emmen that had 129 games and scored 160 goals.
  • 74' A change in the Sparta Rotterdam ranks — Sven Mijnans exits the field as Aaron Meijers enters on 74.
  • 79' A meaty challenge results in booking for Hilal Ben Moussa on 79.
  • 79' The whistle greets Sergio Pena as he departs to be replaced by Lentini Caciano.
  • 80' A moment of madness from Danzell Gravenberch on 80 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Sparta Rotterdam will be frustrated.

  • 86' Nick Bakker has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ricardo van Rhijn on 86 minute.
  • 90' Fresh legs for Sparta Rotterdam! Tom Beugelsdijk comes on to replace Deroy Duarte.
