Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Doosan Arena Plzen will turn into a battlefield for FC Viktoria Plzen and RSC Anderlecht.
- 3' What a strike from Lukas Cerv! The score is 1-0.
- 8' RSC Anderlecht started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 8.
- 13' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 13 minutes.
- 18' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 23' FC Viktoria Plzen is showing some good football. However, FC Viktoria Plzen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 28' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. RSC Anderlecht needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 33' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 38' 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 Nilson Angulo suffering a number of foals already.
- 43' It looks surprising RSC Anderlecht does not make any changes. Sampson Dweh has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 45' GOAL! Prince Adu scores on 45. Assisted by Matej Vydra
- 46' Time for substitution for RSC Anderlecht. Ali Maamar is replaced by Yari Verschaeren.
- 51' Colin Coosemans needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 56' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Cadu made 150 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 66' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 71' Yari Verschaeren has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 40 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 75' Time for substitution for FC Viktoria Plzen. Matej Vydra is replaced by Daniel Vasulin.
- 80' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering RSC Anderlecht that had 390 games and scored 464 goals.
- 81' Another change for RSC Anderlecht made on 81 minute. Ludwig Augustinsson leaves to be changed by Moussa N'Diaye.
- 83' Time for substitution for FC Viktoria Plzen. Milan Havel is replaced by Jan Kopic.
