  • 19' SC Heerenveen fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.

  • 34' Sparta Rotterdam are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined SC Heerenveen backline.
  • 35' That is a card for SC Heerenveen. Mats Kohlert will be fuming at that decision.
  • 40' Over 40 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 45' Levi Smans has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 46' Another change for SC Heerenveen made on 46 minute. Oliver Braude leaves to be changed by Hussein Ali.
  • 51' It’s high time Robin Veldman made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 56' SC Heerenveen 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.
  • 58' Fresh legs for SC Heerenveen! Jacob Trenskow comes on to replace Levi Smans.
  • 62' The referee has no hesitation. Said Bakari is booked for Sparta Rotterdam — card on 62.
  • 66' A change in the Sparta Rotterdam ranks — Carel Eiting exits the field as Joel Ideho enters on 66.
  • 69' Tobias Lauritsen adds to his 0 season tally! Sparta Rotterdam lead 2-0 — and this changes everything.

  • 84' Against the run of play, Nokkvi THorisson has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 89' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 90' Another change for Sparta Rotterdam made on 90 minute. Gjivai Zechiel leaves to be changed by Rick Meissen.
  • Sparta Rotterdam celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
