Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Sparta-Stadion Het Kasteel. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Sparta Rotterdam and SC Heerenveen.
  • 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 Joey Veerman suffering a number of foals already.
  • 7' Benjamin Nygren makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and SC Heerenveen are in front.
  • 12' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sparta Rotterdam and SC Heerenveen are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 17' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 22' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SC Heerenveen needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 25' What a strike from Jan Paul van Hecke! The score is 0-2.
  • 30' Emanuel Emegha has so much to prove this time. He replaces Danzell Gravenberch on 30 minute.
  • 35' Belgium international Sieben Dewaele has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 40' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 42' Against the run of play, Henk Veerman has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 47' It looks surprising SC Heerenveen does not make any changes. Sven Mijnans has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 50' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Laros Duarte.
  • 55' Abdou Harroui has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 14 cards already picked up this season.
  • 57' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Henk Veerman makes it 0-4.
  • 62' The 24-year-old Rami Hajal has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 65' The crowd applauds Oliver Batista-Meier as he leaves the pitch. Sieben Dewaele steps in for SC Heerenveen.
  • 68' Deroy Duarte gets the nod from Sparta Rotterdam. He replaces Tom Beugelsdijk and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 73' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 76' It is a substitution in SC Heerenveen team. Benjamin Nygren is replaced by Ibrahim Dresevic on 76 minute.
  • 81' The Sparta Rotterdam manager makes a substitution. Abdou Harroui departs to be replaced by Aaron Meijers.
  • 86' SC Heerenveen have won 356 goals from 369 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 88' The SC Heerenveen bench stirs into life. Joey Veerman is withdrawn and Rami Hajal gets his opportunity.
  • It finishes all square. Sparta Rotterdam and SC Heerenveen share the spoils 1-4.
