Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Jan Breydel Stadion that hosts another battle between Cercle Brugge KSV and KRC Genk.
  • 5' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 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' 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.
  • 20' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 30' Francis Abu, a Ghana , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 35' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Carlos Cuesta made 327 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 41' It’s gonna be a card for Anouar Ait El Hadj.
  • 46' Jordan Semedo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 51' Hugo Siquet is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Cercle Brugge KSV tonight.
  • 52' Boris Popovic has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 52.
  • 57' The 27-year-old Leonardo Lopes has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 62' 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 Angelo Preciado suffering a number of foals already.
  • 63' The Cercle Brugge KSV bench stirs into life. Jordan Semedo is withdrawn and Olivier Deman gets his opportunity.
