- 35' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Sparta Rotterdam side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 40' 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.
- 42' GOAL! Henk Veerman fires home to make it 0-3!
- 47' Supporters expect more eagerness from Abdou Harroui, as he is very good at scoring at Sparta-Stadion Het Kasteel with 5 goals in the last 5 games.
- 50' Laros Duarte is having his name booked by the referee on 50.
- 55' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with SC Heerenveen winning 100% of all matches.

- 81' The crowd applauds Abdou Harroui as he leaves the pitch. Aaron Meijers steps in for Sparta Rotterdam.

- Game over. The scoreline of 1-4 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
