Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. KRC Genk get us underway at Ghelamco Arena.
  • 5' 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.
  • 9' KAA Gent is taking the lead after the goal scored by Hyun-Seok Hong on 9.
  • 14' The home supporters are growing impatient. KAA Gent must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 19' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mike Ndayishimye made 176 appearances and scored 21 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 23' The deadlock is broken! Joseph Paintsil gets on the scoresheet on 23 minutes.
  • 28' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both KAA Gent and KRC Genk are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 33' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 38' KRC Genk come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 43' The energy levels are beginning to show. Hein Vanhaezebrouck might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 48' Both keepers have barely been tested. KAA Gent and KRC Genk are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 53' 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.
  • 58' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 58 minutes.
  • 63' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His KAA Gent side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 64' Julien De Sart has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 64.
  • 65' KRC Genk ring the changes. Bilal El Khannous has done his job and it is now time for Collins Sor to step up.
  • 67' What composure from Collins Sor! The international strokes it home. 1-2.
  • 68' The KAA Gent bench stirs into life. Malick Fofana is withdrawn and Laurent Depoitre gets his opportunity.
  • 73' With 0 assists to his name this season, Bilal El Khannous is clearly more than just a goal scorer for KAA Gent.
  • 78' 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 Toluwalas Arokodare suffering a number of foals already.
  • 79' The KAA Gent manager makes a substitution. Sven Kums departs to be replaced by Darko Lemajic.
  • 84' Angelo Preciado is replacing Joseph Paintsil for the KRC Genk side.
  • 86' GOAL! Toluwalas Arokodare scores on 86.
  • 88' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Laurent Depoitre makes no mistake. 2-3!
  • 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Toluwalas Arokodare.
  • KAA Gent will have plenty to reflect on. KRC Genk were simply the better side today.
