Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Club Brugge KV launch into their encounter with KAA Gent.
- 5' Nicolo Tresoldi is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for KAA Gent tonight.
- 10' 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 Tibe De Vlieger suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 20' Club Brugge KV are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against KAA Gent's 3-4-3 shape.
- 21' Carlos Forbs doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 26' The travelling KAA Gent supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 31' Hans Vanaken has been relatively quiet despite scoring 95 goals in his last 354 appearances.
- 33' Magnificent from Nicolo Tresoldi! That is 24 goals in 294 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 38' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 41' Assisted by Cisse Sandra with the perfectly-timed delivery and Nicolo Tresoldi makes no mistake. 3-0!
- 46' KAA Gent are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 51' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Siebe Van der Heyden made 235 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 53' Brilliant from the ! Nicolo Tresoldi makes it 4-0 with a superb finish on 53.
- 58' Club Brugge KV is showing some good football. However, Club Brugge KV are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 63' Hugo Siquet has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 67' That looks like a foul for a card for Leonardo Lopes.
- 72' Mathias Delorge needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 77' Over 77 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 79' Magnificent from Christos Tzolis! That is 56 goals in 167 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 84' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 89' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- Full Time. Club Brugge KV beats KAA Gent
