Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Sparta Rotterdam kicks off things out of here…
5' Sparta Rotterdam seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
10' The home supporters are growing impatient. Sparta Rotterdam must find a spark to ignite this game.
15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jakob Breum, as he is very good at scoring at Het Kasteel with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
20' named a 4-3-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
25' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ayoni Santos is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Go Ahead Eagles.
30' Stefan Ingi Sigurdarson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
35' The referee has no hesitation. Joris Kramer is booked for Go Ahead Eagles — card on 35.
40' Norway international Joshua Kitolano has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
45' 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 Victor Edvardsen suffering a number of foals already.
46' GOAL! Shunsuke Mito fires home to make it 1-0!
47' Magnificent from Shunsuke Mito! That is 12 goals in 110 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
51' Victor Edvardsen makes no mistake. The score reads 2-1 and Go Ahead Eagles are in front.
56' Sparta Rotterdam started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 56.
57' Tobias Lauritsen is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the .
62' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
67' It looks like no one’s ball. Go Ahead Eagles is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
69' Teo Quintero has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 69.
71' Victor Edvardsen picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
76' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Sparta Rotterdam side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
77' Brilliant from the ! Jakob Breum makes it 3-2 with a superb finish on 77.
82' Jari De Busser needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
85' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Richonell Margaret on 85 minutes.
90' It’s gonna be a card for Oskar Sivertsen.
The final score is 2-2.
