- 0' And we are off! FC Viktoria Plzen vs Royale Union Saint-Gilloise — let the football do the talking.
- 5' Guilherme Carvalho has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
- 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. David Hubert might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Royale Union Saint-Gilloise needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 16' A moment of madness from Ondrej Kricfalusi on 16 minutes earns him a card. Royale Union Saint-Gilloise will be frustrated.
- 17' Relebohile Mofokeng doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 22' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 27' Nikki Havenaar is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Royale Union Saint-Gilloise tonight.
- 32' The travelling Royale Union Saint-Gilloise supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 37' It looks surprising FC Viktoria Plzen does not make any changes. Denzel De Roeve has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 42' A meaty challenge results in booking for Mateo Biondic on 42.
- 43' What composure from Mateo Biondic! The Germany international strokes it home. 0-2.
- 45' The referee calls foul for Patrik Hrosovsky. He receives a card.
- 46' Time for substitution for FC Viktoria Plzen. Karel Spacil is replaced by Sampson Dweh.
- 51' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 56' 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.
- 59' What a moment for Ondrej Kricfalusi! That strike on 59 puts his side firmly in control.
- 60' That is a card for FC Viktoria Plzen. Stefan Pirgic will be fuming at that decision.
- 63' Another substitution for Royale Union Saint-Gilloise to replace Mateo Biondic by Kevin Rodriguez on 63 minute.
- 64' The crowd applauds Prince Adu as he leaves the pitch. Baboucarr Faal steps in for FC Viktoria Plzen.
- 69' Royale Union Saint-Gilloise seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 72' Lukas Cerv has so much to prove this time. He replaces Patrik Hrosovsky on 72 minute.
- 75' It is a substitution in Royale Union Saint-Gilloise team. Ondrej Kricfalusi is replaced by Chibani Nohim on 75 minute.
- 80' Darius Olaru is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Viktoria Plzen so far.
- 83' Royale Union Saint-Gilloise ring the changes. Darius Olaru has done his job and it is now time for Dylan Aquino to step up.
- 88' 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 Florian Wiegele suffering a number of foals already.
- Game over. The scoreline of 0-3 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
