Sparta Rotterdam vs PEC Zwolle

Two minutes of late madness at Het Kasteel saw Sparta Rotterdam and PEC Zwolle share the spoils in a 1-1 Eredivisie draw on Sunday. A cagey affair looked set to swing Sparta's way when Milan Zonneveld broke the deadlock in the 83rd minute, but the celebrations barely died down before the visitors hit back. Kaj de Rooij levelled for PEC Zwolle just two minutes later in the 85th, latching onto a pass from Younes Namli to stun the home crowd. It was a sucker punch for Sparta, who had done the hard work to open the scoring so late on. The first half had been a tight, scrappy affair with little to separate the sides, and the bookings reflected the tension — Sparta picked up three yellow cards across the match. Neither goalkeeper was truly tested until that frantic late burst. The draw leaves Sparta Rotterdam seventh on 38 points, while PEC Zwolle sit 13th with 29 points from 26 games. For Sparta, two dropped points at home will sting; for Zwolle, a point snatched from the jaws of defeat will feel like a win.
