Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Sparta Rotterdam gets underway.
- 5' Sparta Rotterdam is showing some good football. However, Sparta Rotterdam are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 10' 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 Said Bakari suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' It’s high time Maurice Steijn made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 20' What a strike from Tobias Lauritsen! The score is 1-0.
- 25' Willem II Tilburg started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
