Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Cercle Brugge KSV launch into their encounter with KRC Genk.
  • 5' Bryan Heynen has been relatively quiet despite scoring 33 goals in his last 327 appearances.
  • 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.
  • 15' KRC Genk started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' Both keepers have barely been tested. Cercle Brugge KSV and KRC Genk are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 25' The energy levels are beginning to show. Dominik Thalhammer might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cercle Brugge KSV that had 369 games and scored 339 goals.
  • 35' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 36' The Wales Rabbi Matondo breaks the deadlock on 36 minutes. 1-0!
  • 41' It’s high time Dominik Thalhammer made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 46' The whistle greets Kristian Thorstvedt as he departs to be replaced by Mike Ndayishimye.
  • 51' A stunning finish from Senna Miangue — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 53' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Theo Bongonda makes no mistake. 2-1!
  • 56' Bryan Heynen has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 56 minutes.
  • 61' Cercle Brugge KSV are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against KRC Genk's shape.

  • 70' Fresh legs for Cercle Brugge KSV! Thibo Somers comes on to replace Olivier Deman.
  • 75' 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 Joseph Paintsil suffering a number of foals already.
  • 80' The travelling KRC Genk supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 81' Fresh legs for Cercle Brugge KSV! Robbe Decostere comes on to replace Senna Miangue.
  • 85' A tactical swap from Cercle Brugge KSV — David Sousa on, Charles Vanhoutte off on 85 minutes.
  • 86' Cercle Brugge KSV make a change. Charles Vanhoutte trudges off to be replaced by David Sousa on 86 minutes.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
