- 0' KICK OFF: RKC Waalwijk gets underway.
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Sparta Rotterdam is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' Oskar Zawada puts RKC Waalwijk on the lead.
- 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joshua Kitolano made 230 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 24' Goal! Said Bakari scores his 5 goal in 197 matches.
- 29' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nick Olij, as he is very good at scoring at Het Kasteel with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 34' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sparta Rotterdam needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 39' The travelling RKC Waalwijk supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 44' RKC Waalwijk is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 49' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 54' RKC Waalwijk 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.
- 59' Sparta Rotterdam started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 59.
- 64' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
