- 0' That's the starting whistle at . Ninety minutes of football awaits between Cercle Brugge KSV and KAA Gent.
- 5' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Cercle Brugge KSV side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 10' 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.
- 14' The referee shows Cercle Brugge KSV player a Yellow card on 14.
- 19' KAA Gent started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 19.
- 24' 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 Lloyd Palun suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' A stunning finish from Birger Verstraete — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 29' Benjamin Lambot catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 29.
- 31' It’s a booking for KAA Gent player. Dylan Bronn gets a Yellow card.
- 36' Over 36 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 41' The 28-year-old Ahmed Mostafa has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 46' Cercle Brugge KSV make a change. Naomichi Ueda trudges off to be replaced by Isaac Kone on 46 minutes.
- 51' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 56' The travelling KAA Gent supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 57' Kevin Hoggas is replacing Xavier Mercier for the Cercle Brugge KSV side.
- 62' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 65' That is a Yellow card for Cercle Brugge KSV. Paul Nardi will be fuming at that decision.
- 67' The Belgium Birger Verstraete breaks the deadlock on 67 minutes. 0-2!
- 71' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Brecht Dejaegere.
- 72' Another substitution for Cercle Brugge KSV to replace Johanna Omolo by Dylan De Belder on 72 minute.
- 76' Cercle Brugge KSV player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
