Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: KAA Gent gets underway.
- 5' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

- 29' 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.
- 31' GOAL! Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe scores on 31. Assisted by Roman Yaremchuk
- 36' 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 Roman Yaremchuk suffering a number of foals already.
- 41' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Diego Falcinelli made 480 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
