Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Club Brugge KV gets underway.
  • 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Matties Volckaert, as he is very good at scoring at Jan Breydel Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 15' Club Brugge KV currently sit 2 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 21' Assisted by Christos Tzolis with the perfectly-timed delivery and Carlos Forbs makes no mistake. 1-0!
  • 26' Club Brugge KV are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined KAA Gent backline.
  • 31' Tiago Araujo has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 467 appearances.
  • 33' Nicolo Tresoldi makes no mistake. The score reads 2-0 and Club Brugge KV are in front.
  • 38' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 41' Nicolo Tresoldi does the damage! The net is bulging and Club Brugge KV surge ahead!
  • 46' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Club Brugge KV that had 351 games and scored 637 goals.
  • 51' KAA Gent is showing some good football. However, KAA Gent are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 53' Nicolo Tresoldi makes a hat-trick on 53.
  • 58' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 63' 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.
  • 67' That looks like a foul for a card for Leonardo Lopes.
  • 72' Over 72 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 77' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Club Brugge KV and KAA Gent are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 79' The Greece forward Christos Tzolis breaks the deadlock on 79 minutes. 5-0!
  • 84' 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.
  • 89' It looks like no one’s ball. Club Brugge KV is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 5-0 the final result. KAA Gent will be bitterly disappointed.
