Events

Match Events

  • 0' The ball is rolling at . KAA Gent are looking to make home advantage count against KRC Genk.
  • 5' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' It looks surprising KAA Gent does not make any changes. Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 17' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Mbwana Samatta makes no mistake. 0-1!
  • 18' Joseph Paintsil does the damage! The net is bulging and KRC Genk surge ahead!
  • 22' Brecht Dejaegere picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 27' What a strike from Dieumerci Ndongala! The score is 0-3.
  • 32' 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 Ihor Plastun suffering a number of foals already.
  • 37' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 38' Against the run of play, Dylan Bronn has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 42' That is a Red card for KAA Gent. Brecht Dejaegere will be fuming at that decision.
  • 46' KAA Gent manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yannick Thoelen is hanging Lovre Kalinic on the field on 46 minute.
  • 49' Giorgi Chakvetadze has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 49.
  • 54' Sander Berge is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for KAA Gent so far.
  • 59' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 61' Taiwo Awoniyi has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 61.
  • 62' Poor challenge from Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 66' Another change for KAA Gent made on 66 minute. Taiwo Awoniyi leaves to be changed by Roman Yaremchuk.
  • 67' What composure from Ruslan Malinovskyi! The Ukraine international strokes it home. 1-4.
  • 72' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 73' Joseph Paintsil adds to his 3 season tally! KRC Genk lead 1-5 — and this changes everything.
  • 74' Mbwana Samatta makes way for Marcus Ingvartsen at the 74 minute mark. A tactical switch from KRC Genk.
  • 77' A change in the KRC Genk ranks — Dieumerci Ndongala exits the field as Ivan Fiolic enters on 77.
  • 82' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 84' The KRC Genk bench stirs into life. Sander Berge is withdrawn and Dries Wouters gets his opportunity.
  • 89' KRC Genk is showing some good football. However, KRC Genk are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • Another three points for KRC Genk.
