Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Besiktas JK to score. At the same time, KRC Genk does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering KRC Genk that had 316 games and scored 528 goals.
  • 15' Besiktas JK is showing some good football. However, Besiktas JK are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 20' It looks surprising KRC Genk does not make any changes. Jhon Lucumi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 23' Goal! Mbwana Samatta scores his 74 goal in 316 matches.
  • 27' The Besiktas JK manager makes a substitution. Tolgay Ali Arslan departs to be replaced by Enzo Roco.
  • 32' KRC Genk started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 32.
  • 37' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ricardo Quaresma made 121 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 42' 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 Necip Uysal suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' The referee calls foul for Jhon Lucumi. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 46' Vagner Love is replacing Cyle Larin for the Besiktas JK side.
