Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Cercle Brugge KSV host Royal Antwerp FC — let the battle begin!
- 5' Royal Antwerp FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Olivier Deman made 369 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' Cercle Brugge KSV is showing some good football. However, Cercle Brugge KSV are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 20' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Cercle Brugge KSV and Royal Antwerp FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 23' Dimitar Velkovski gets the nod from Cercle Brugge KSV. He replaces Alexander Corryn and will look to change the dynamic.
- 28' 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.
- 33' 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 Dino Hotic suffering a number of foals already.
- 38' With 0 assists to his name this season, Pieter Gerkens is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Cercle Brugge KSV.
- 39' Controversy at the stadium! Samuel Vines argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 44' Royal Antwerp FC have won 452 goals from 314 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 45' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Dino Hotic on 45 minutes.
- 50' David Sousa has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 52' David Sousa catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 52.
- 56' Royal Antwerp FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Michael Frey on 56.
- 57' GOAL! Michael Frey scores on 57.
- 60' Alhassan Yusuf is having his name booked by the referee on 60.
- 63' Birger Verstraete has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 63.
- 65' The Royal Antwerp FC manager makes a substitution. Pieter Gerkens departs to be replaced by Mbwana Samatta.
- 70' Jesper Daland was booked on 70.
- 75' A tactical swap from Cercle Brugge KSV — Charles Vanhoutte on, Edgaras Utkus off on 75 minutes.
- 80' Royal Antwerp FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jelle Bataille is hanging Benson Manuel on the field on 80 minute.
- 84' A change in the Cercle Brugge KSV ranks — Vitinho exits the field as Boris Popovic enters on 84.
- 89' It looks like no one’s ball. Royal Antwerp FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 90' Controversy at the stadium! Ritchie De Laet argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for Cercle Brugge KSV and Royal Antwerp FC (для сухой ничьи).
