Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Jan Breydel Stadion. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Dino Hotic has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 10 cards already picked up this season.
  • 10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' Igor de Camargo is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for KV Mechelen tonight.
  • 25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 30' Samuel Oum Gouet is ready to make an impact after coming on for Geoffry Hairemans at the 30 minute mark.
  • 34' The deadlock is broken! Edgaras Utkus gets on the scoresheet on 34 minutes.
  • 39' 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.
  • 43' GOAL! Nikola Storm fires home to make it 1-1!
  • 48' 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 Kerim Mrabti suffering a number of foals already.
  • 53' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 58' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 60' Lucas Bijker has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 60.
  • 63' What a moment for Dino Hotic! That strike on 63 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 65' Leonardo Da Silva Lopes was booked on 65.
  • 69' A change in the Yellow-Red KV Mechelen ranks — Lucas Bijker exits the field as Iebe Swers enters on 69.
  • 70' Rob Schoofs makes way for Marian Shved at the 70 minute mark. A tactical switch from Yellow-Red KV Mechelen.
  • 75' Time for substitution for Cercle Brugge KSV. Olivier Deman is replaced by David Sousa.
  • 77' What a moment for Rabbi Matondo! That strike on 77 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 81' Yellow-Red KV Mechelen manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Igor de Camargo is hanging Kerim Mrabti on the field on 81 minute.
  • 82' The referee shows Yellow-Red KV Mechelen player a Yellow card on 82.
  • 83' The whistle greets Leonardo Da Silva Lopes as he departs to be replaced by Charles Vanhoutte.
  • 88' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Cercle Brugge KSV and KV Mechelen are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 89' A change in the Cercle Brugge KSV ranks — Rabbi Matondo exits the field as Waldo enters on 89.
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. Cercle Brugge KSV take all three points.
