0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Sparta Rotterdam launch into their encounter with FC Groningen.
5' Sparta Rotterdam are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against FC Groningen's shape.
10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Adil Auassar made 242 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
12' The Sparta Rotterdam bench stirs into life. Adil Auassar is withdrawn and Dirk Abels gets his opportunity.
16' Mike te Wierik catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 16.
21' Sparta Rotterdam is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
22' Assisted by Ramon-Pascal Lundqvist with the perfectly-timed delivery and Joel Asoro makes no mistake. 0-1!
27' 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.
32' A stunning finish from Ramon-Pascal Lundqvist — that came from absolutely nowhere!
37' Lassana Faye is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Groningen tonight.
42' The 37-year-old Jeffrey Fortes has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
44' FC Groningen manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ko Itakura is hanging Django Warmerdam on the field on 44 minute.
45' Sparta Rotterdam manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Laros Duarte is hanging Dante Rigo on the field on 45 minute.
49' GOAL! Mohammed Rayhi scores on 49.
54' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
56' Another substitution for FC Groningen to replace Daniel van Kaam by Ahmed El Messaoudi on 56 minute.
61' FC Groningen fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
66' It looks surprising FC Groningen does not make any changes. Daniel van Kaam has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
71' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sparta Rotterdam and FC Groningen are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
75' Joel Piroe is ready to make an impact after coming on for Lassana Faye at the 75 minute mark.
78' The FC Groningen manager makes a substitution. Ajdin Hrustic departs to be replaced by Samir Memisevic.
80' A meaty challenge results in booking for Laros Duarte on 80.
83' The referee has no hesitation. Abdou Harroui is booked for Sparta Rotterdam — Yellow card on 83.
88' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for FC Groningen players.
