Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Jan Breydelstadion!
  • 5' It looks surprising Cercle Brugge KSV does not make any changes. Junior Pius has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Cercle Brugge KSV needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 15' The home supporters are growing impatient. Cercle Brugge KSV must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 20' Nill De Pauw, a DR Congo , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 25' Cercle Brugge KSV currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 30' 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 Jonathan Bolingi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 31' Johanna Omolo picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 32' Royal Antwerp FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Pieter Gerkens on 32.

  • 52' Nill De Pauw gets the nod from Royal Antwerp FC. He replaces Buta and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 57' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kylian Hazard made 363 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 62' Over 62 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.

  • 74' The crowd applauds Lior Refaelov as he leaves the pitch. Jonathan Bolingi steps in for Royal Antwerp FC.
