Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Het Kasteel will turn into a battlefield for Sparta Rotterdam and Go Ahead Eagles.
  • 5' Joris Kramer needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 7' Willum Thor Willumsson adds to his 0 season tally! Go Ahead Eagles lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 12' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sparta Rotterdam and Go Ahead Eagles are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 17' The travelling Go Ahead Eagles supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 22' With 2 assists to his name this season, Shunsuke Mito is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Sparta Rotterdam.
  • 27' That is a Yellow card for Go Ahead Eagles. Bas Kuipers will be fuming at that decision.
  • 32' Jakob Breum has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 2 goals to his name this season.
  • 37' Oliver Edvardsen is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sparta Rotterdam tonight.
  • 42' Canada international Charles-Andreas Brym has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 45' Jamal Amofa catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 45.
  • 50' 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 Evert Linthorst suffering a number of foals already.
  • 51' What composure from Victor Edvardsen! The Sweden international strokes it home. 0-2.
  • 55' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Jamal Amofa on 55 minutes.
  • 60' Over 60 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 65' Supporters expect more eagerness from Xander Blomme, as he is very good at scoring at Het Kasteel with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 66' The crowd applauds Jakob Breum as he leaves the pitch. Xander Blomme steps in for Go Ahead Eagles.
  • 67' A tactical swap from Sparta Rotterdam — Metinho on, Shunsuke Mito off on 67 minutes.
  • 70' Rayvien Rosario gets the nod from Sparta Rotterdam. He replaces Tobias Lauritsen and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 75' Jamal Amofa has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 79' Thibo Baeten has so much to prove this time. He replaces Bobby Adekanye on 79 minute.
  • 83' Sparta Rotterdam make a change. Said Bakari trudges off to be replaced by Mike Eerdhuijzen on 83 minutes.
  • 88' Sparta Rotterdam currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • Another three points for Go Ahead Eagles.
