- 0' The game is set. FK Crvena Zvezda kicks off things out of here…
- 5' A quiet spell here at Stadion Rajko Mitic. KAA Gent seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FK Crvena Zvezda needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 12' Magnificent from Guelor Kanga! That is 11 goals in 49 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 17' The travelling KAA Gent supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 22' KAA Gent 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.
- 24' KAA Gent receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 24.
- 29' Mirko Ivanic has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 9 cards already picked up this season.
- 31' GOAL! Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe scores on 31. Assisted by Roman Yaremchuk
- 36' 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.
- 41' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both FK Crvena Zvezda and KAA Gent are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 45' It’s a booking for FK Crvena Zvezda player. Sekou Sanogo gets a Yellow card.
- 48' It’s a booking for KAA Gent player. Osman Bukari gets a Yellow card.
- 53' FK Crvena Zvezda currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 58' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Franck Gniangbo made 14 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 59' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Aleksandar Katai makes it 2-1.
- 63' The KAA Gent bench stirs into life. Jordan Botaka is withdrawn and Franck Gniangbo gets his opportunity.
- 64' Fresh legs for FK Crvena Zvezda! Veljko Simic comes on to replace Mirko Ivanic.
- 69' It looks surprising KAA Gent does not make any changes. Milan Borjan has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 74' It looks like no one’s ball. FK Crvena Zvezda is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 75' Another change for KAA Gent made on 75 minute. Elisha Owusu leaves to be changed by Sven Kums.
- 80' The energy levels are beginning to show. Wim De Decker might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 81' The KAA Gent bench stirs into life. Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe is withdrawn and Tim Kleindienst gets his opportunity.
- 83' Fresh legs for FK Crvena Zvezda! Radovan Pankov comes on to replace Guelor Kanga.
- 84' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Aleksandar Katai on 84 minutes.
- 89' KAA Gent fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 90' Srdan Spiridonovic gets the nod from FK Crvena Zvezda. He replaces El Fardou Ben Nabouhane and will look to change the dynamic.
- 90' A moment of madness from Marko Gobeljic on 90 minutes earns him a Yellow card. FK Crvena Zvezda will be frustrated.
- Game over. The scoreline of 2-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
