Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Het Kasteel. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Sparta Rotterdam and SC Heerenveen.
  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sparta Rotterdam and SC Heerenveen are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 10' Jonathan de Guzman is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Sparta Rotterdam so far.
  • 15' SC Heerenveen are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Kees van Wonderen will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 25' Sparta Rotterdam are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined SC Heerenveen backline.
  • 30' 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 Pawel Bochniewicz suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' Charlie Webster is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for SC Heerenveen tonight.
  • 40' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Sparta Rotterdam side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 45' Nick Olij needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 50' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 50 minutes.
  • 55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Koki Saito made 143 appearances and scored 20 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 57' Camiel Neghli adds to his 0 season tally! Sparta Rotterdam lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 59' Poor challenge from Oliver Braude. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 64' SC Heerenveen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 68' Another substitution for SC Heerenveen to replace Che Nunnely by Patrik Walemark on 68 minute.
  • 73' A goal from the Norway international Tobias Lauritsen! He fires home on 73 to make it 2-0!
  • 74' A change in the SC Heerenveen ranks — Syb Van Ottele exits the field as Loizos Loizou enters on 74.
  • 75' Time for substitution for Sparta Rotterdam. Jonathan de Guzman is replaced by Shunsuke Mito.
  • 80' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 82' The crowd applauds Koki Saito as he leaves the pitch. Charles-Andreas Brym steps in for Sparta Rotterdam.
  • 83' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Mats Kohlert on 83 minutes.
  • 88' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Sparta Rotterdam and SC Heerenveen are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 89' Sergi Rosanas has so much to prove this time. He replaces Said Bakari on 89 minute.
  • 90' Rayvien Rosario gets the nod from Sparta Rotterdam. He replaces Camiel Neghli and will look to change the dynamic.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Sparta Rotterdam players.
