5' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Club Brugge KV side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. David Hubert will be considering his options from the bench.
15' Royale Union Saint-Gilloise is showing some good football. However, Royale Union Saint-Gilloise are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
17' That looks like a foul for a card for Ross Sykes.
22' Kamiel Van De Perre has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 11 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
27' With 0 assists to his name this season, Kevin Mac Allister is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Club Brugge KV.
31' Hans Vanaken doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.

61' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.

67' That is a card for Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. Christian Burgess will be fuming at that decision.
72' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.

82' Club Brugge KV are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Royale Union Saint-Gilloise backline.
87' GOAL! Christos Tzolis fires home to make it 4-0!
