0' That's the starting whistle at Sparta Stadion. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Sparta Rotterdam and Fortuna Sittard.
5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sparta Rotterdam that had 242 games and scored 329 goals.
10' It looks surprising Fortuna Sittard does not make any changes. Koki Saito has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
15' 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 Rodrigo Guth suffering a number of foals already.
18' Sparta Rotterdam receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 18.
19' Tijjani Noslin doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
24' It is a cagey affair so far. Sparta Rotterdam in their trying to find a way past Fortuna Sittard's compact .
26' GOAL! Arno Verschueren fires home to make it 1-1!

54' Vito van Crooij has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 54 minutes.
58' The Fortuna Sittard bench stirs into life. Arianit Ferati is withdrawn and Dogan Erdogan gets his opportunity.
59' Fortuna Sittard manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Dogan Erdogan is hanging Arianit Ferati on the field on 59 minute.
64' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
65' Sparta Rotterdam manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Dirk Abels is hanging Shurandy Sambo on the field on 65 minute.
