Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between AS Saint-Étienne and KAA Gent is underway.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AS Saint-Étienne that had 427 games and scored 380 goals.
  • 10' The travelling KAA Gent supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' KAA Gent is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ihor Plastun, as he is very good at scoring at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 35' AS Saint-Étienne 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.
  • 40' It looks surprising KAA Gent does not make any changes. Brecht Dejaegere has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 45' The referee shows KAA Gent player a Yellow card on 45.
  • 50' Denis Bouanga needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 33 Yellow cards this season.
  • 55' 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 Thomas Kaminski suffering a number of foals already.
  • 60' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 64' The referee shows KAA Gent player a Yellow card on 64.
  • 64' Another substitution for AS Saint-Etienne to replace Jean-Eudes Aholou by Arnaud Nordin on 64 minute.
  • 69' It’s high time Jess Thorup made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 71' It is a substitution in KAA Gent team. Roman Yaremchuk is replaced by Giorgi Kvilitaia on 71 minute.
  • 73' Another change for AS Saint-Etienne made on 73 minute. Lois Diony leaves to be changed by Zaydou Youssouf.
  • 76' Michael Ngadeu was booked on 76.
  • 78' The whistle greets Laurent Depoitre as he departs to be replaced by Alessio Castro-Montes.
  • 79' A meaty challenge results in booking for Mahdi Camara on 79.
  • 80' The supporters are chanting for Robert Beric. He replaces Yann M'Vila on 80 minute.
  • 85' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 90' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jean-Eudes Aholou made 422 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • The final score is 0-0.
