Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Cercle Brugge KSV and KAA Gent has kicked off!
- 3' A goal from the Morocco international Tarik Tissoudali! He fires home on 3 to make it 0-1!
- 4' A goal from the Belgium international Thibo Somers! He fires home on 4 to make it 1-1!
- 9' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 12' Poor challenge from Olivier Deman. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 17' 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 Warleson suffering a number of foals already.
- 22' A moment of madness from Laurent Depoitre on 22 minutes earns him a Yellow card. KAA Gent will be frustrated.
- 27' KAA Gent 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.
- 30' KAA Gent is taking the lead after the goal scored by Tarik Tissoudali on 30.
- 35' 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.

- 50' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.

- 61' Robbe Decostere is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Cercle Brugge KSV tonight.
