- 5' Igor Vetokele makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and KVC Westerlo are in front.
- 10' KAA Gent is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 15' Bulgaria international Edisson Jordanov has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 20' 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.
- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 30' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sven Kums made 393 appearances and scored 15 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 37' What composure from Sulayman Marreh! The The Gambia international strokes it home. 1-1.

- 58' Sinan Bolat has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 63' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
