Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Sparta Stadion. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Sparta Rotterdam and FC Utrecht.
  • 5' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 10' 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 Koki Saito suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Utrecht is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' Sparta Rotterdam are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FC Utrecht backline.
  • 25' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 27' The referee has no hesitation. Luuk Brouwers is booked for FC Utrecht — Yellow card on 27.
  • 28' Poor challenge from Luuk Brouwers. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 33' Nick Olij, a Netherlands , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 38' The referee shows Sparta Rotterdam player a Yellow card on 38.
  • 43' Tobias Lauritsen is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Sparta Rotterdam so far.
  • 45' The referee shows FC Utrecht player a Yellow card on 45.
  • 47' That is a Yellow card for Sparta Rotterdam. Adil Auassar will be fuming at that decision.
  • 50' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Red card for Adil Auassar.
  • 51' Mike Eerdhuijzen has so much to prove this time. He replaces Koki Saito on 51 minute.
  • 56' Rick Meissen is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Utrecht tonight.
  • 61' Over 61 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 66' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 71' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sparta Rotterdam that had 230 games and scored 307 goals.
  • 72' Victor Jensen gets the nod from FC Utrecht. He replaces Taylor Booth and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 74' Jonathan de Guzman catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 74.
  • 74' GOAL! Victor Jensen scores on 74. Assisted by Sander van de Streek
  • 77' The deadlock is broken! Victor Jensen gets on the scoresheet on 77 minutes.
  • 82' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sparta Rotterdam and FC Utrecht are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 85' Fresh legs for Sparta Rotterdam! Younes Namli comes on to replace Tobias Lauritsen.
  • 86' Another change for Sparta Rotterdam made on 86 minute. Jonathan de Guzman leaves to be changed by Elias Hoff Melkersen.
  • 87' The supporters are chanting for Hidde ter Avest. He replaces Mark van der Maarel on 87 minute.
  • 88' FC Utrecht make a change. Anastasios Douvikas trudges off to be replaced by Anthony Descotte on 88 minutes.
  • 90' Poor challenge from Younes Namli. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 90' Bart Ramselaar is ready to make an impact after coming on for Othman Boussaid at the 90 minute mark.
