Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: KAA Gent gets underway.
  • 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 21' Goal! Emmanuel Kakou scores his 2 goal in 365 matches.
  • 26' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 26 minutes.

  • 36' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 41' Lukas Mondele has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 5 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 46' The 21-year-old Momodou Lamin Sonko has been sensational this season — 2 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 51' 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 Tibe De Vlieger suffering a number of foals already.
  • 56' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Cercle Brugge KSV and KAA Gent are desperate not to drop points on matchday .

  • 70' Lazare Amani picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 72' Cercle Brugge KSV manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Krys-Anthony Kouassi is hanging Lazare Amani on the field on 72 minute.
  • 77' Against the run of play, Tibe De Vlieger has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 78' A tactical swap from KAA Gent — Leonardo Lopes on, Mathias Delorge off on 78 minutes.
  • 81' Time for substitution for Cercle Brugge KSV. Valy Konate is replaced by Royer Caiceo.
