Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Cercle Brugge KSV host KAA Gent — let the battle begin!
- 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Archie Brown made 310 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' Yann Gboho has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
- 20' The home supporters are growing impatient. Cercle Brugge KSV must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 25' 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 Thibo Somers suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Cercle Brugge KSV 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.
- 35' Christiaan Ravych is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Cercle Brugge KSV so far.
- 40' 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.
- 45' The 24-year-old Matisse Samoise has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 46' Leonardo Lopes puts Cercle Brugge KSV on the lead.
- 51' Jordan Torunarigha has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 53' KAA Gent receives a card for a hard tackle on 53.
- 58' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 59' Felix Lemarechal has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 59.
- 62' Time for substitution for KAA Gent. Julien De Sart is replaced by Omri Gandelman.
- 65' It’s gonna be a card for Hugo Siquet.
- 69' It is a substitution in Cercle Brugge KSV team. Felix Lemarechal is replaced by Kazeem Olaigbe on 69 minute.
- 74' KAA Gent come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 76' KAA Gent player sees a card in front of him.
- 77' Flavio Nazinho is replacing Hugo Siquet for the Cercle Brugge KSV side.
- 80' Another substitution for KAA Gent to replace Andrew Hjulsager by Pieter Gerkens on 80 minute.
- 84' Poor challenge from Hannes Van der Bruggen. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 86' Edgaras Utkus is replacing Yann Gboho for the Cercle Brugge KSV side.
- 90' That looks like a foul for a card for Jordan Torunarigha.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Cercle Brugge KSV players.
