Events

Match Events

5' Calvin Dekuyper, a Belgium , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
10' Cercle Brugge KSV is showing some good football. However, Cercle Brugge KSV are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

35' It looks like no one’s ball. KAA Gent is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
40' 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 Laurent Depoitre suffering a number of foals already.

74' Kevin Denkey is replacing Anthony Musaba for the Cercle Brugge KSV side.
