  • 20' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 25' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 30' It looks surprising FC Utrecht does not make any changes. Bryan Smeets has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 35' It is a cagey affair so far. Sparta Rotterdam in their trying to find a way past FC Utrecht's compact .
