- 12' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 12 minutes.
- 17' PEC Zwolle have won 272 goals from 244 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

- 31' PEC Zwolle has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
- 36' It looks surprising PEC Zwolle does not make any changes. Yuta Nakayama has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 41' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 46' The Sparta Rotterdam bench stirs into life. Wouter Burger is withdrawn and Deroy Duarte gets his opportunity.

- 63' GOAL! Slobodan Tedic scores on 63.
- 68' Sven Mijnans has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 12 appearances with only 9 goals this season.
- 73' The whistle greets Sven Mijnans as he departs to be replaced by Mario Engels.
- 75' Magnificent from Lennart Thy! That is 47 goals in 244 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 76' The crowd applauds Dean Huiberts as he leaves the pitch. Jesper Drost steps in for PEC Zwolle.
- 81' PEC Zwolle is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
