Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Cercle Brugge KSV kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Cercle Brugge KSV looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Babatunde Akinsola scoring 2 goals.
- 10' Royal Antwerp FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 15' Cercle Brugge KSV are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 20' Gabriel David, a Nigeria forward, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 30' Malamine Efekele has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 2 cards already picked up this season.
- 35' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 40' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 45' Cercle Brugge KSV are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Royal Antwerp FC backline.
- 47' Controversy at the stadium! Jairo Riedewald argues furiously but the card stands.
- 52' Both keepers have barely been tested. Cercle Brugge KSV and Royal Antwerp FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 53' Controversy at the stadium! Ibrahim Diakite argues furiously but the card stands.
- 58' 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 Hannes Van der Bruggen suffering a number of foals already.
- 61' Cercle Brugge KSV ring the changes. Alan Minda has done his job and it is now time for Paris Brunner to step up.
- 63' A tactical swap from Royal Antwerp FC — Orseer Achihi on, Kadan Young off on 63 minutes.
- 68' 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.
- 73' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 74' The referee shows Cercle Brugge KSV player a card on 74.
- 78' The Cercle Brugge KSV manager makes a substitution. Gary Magnee departs to be replaced by Edgaras Utkus.
- 81' That is a card for Royal Antwerp FC. Orseer Achihi will be fuming at that decision.
- 85' Time for substitution for Royal Antwerp FC. Mohamed Bayo is replaced by Gabriel David.
- 90' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 90 minutes.
- will have plenty to reflect on. were simply the better side today.
