Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: NAC Breda gets underway.
  • 5' 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 Patrick van Aanholt suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 15' Netherlands international Julian Baas has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 20' Metinho, a DR Congo , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 24' Camiel Neghli picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 29' Marvin Young is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sparta Rotterdam tonight.
  • 34' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 39' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 44' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 46' Boyd Reith has so much to prove this time. He replaces Teo Quintero on 46 minute.
  • 49' Jan Van den Bergh adds to his 0 season tally! NAC Breda lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 54' Sparta Rotterdam currently sit 16 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 59' It is a cagey affair so far. Sparta Rotterdam in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past NAC Breda's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 64' NAC Breda are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 68' Boyd Reith picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 71' Ayoub Oufkir gets the nod from Sparta Rotterdam. He replaces Camiel Neghli and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 74' The referee shows Sparta Rotterdam player a card on 74.
  • 75' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Boy Kemper makes it 0-2.
  • 80' Fredrik Jensen has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 198 appearances.
  • 81' Dominik Janosek gets the nod from NAC Breda. He replaces Clint Leemans and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 84' It is a substitution in Sparta Rotterdam team. Boyd Reith is replaced by Charles-Andreas Brym on 84 minute.
  • 89' That is a card for NAC Breda. Boyd Lucassen will be fuming at that decision.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 0-2 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
