Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and KAA Gent launch into their encounter with Oud-Heverlee Leuven.
- 5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both KAA Gent and Oud-Heverlee Leuven are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 9' A goal from the England international Max Dean! He fires home on 9 to make it 1-0!
- 13' The Senegal Noah Fadiga breaks the deadlock on 13 minutes. 2-0!
- 18' Zalan Vancsa has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 23' With 0 assists to his name this season, Mathieu Maertens is clearly more than just a goal scorer for KAA Gent.
- 28' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 33' KAA Gent currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 38' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Oud-Heverlee Leuven needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 39' That looks like a foul for a card for Franck Surdez.
- 44' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with KAA Gent winning 100% of all matches.
- 45' Controversy at the stadium! Siebe Schrijvers argues furiously but the card stands.
- 46' A change in the Oud-Heverlee Leuven ranks — Siebe Schrijvers exits the field as William Balikwisha enters on 46.
- 51' It’s high time Wouter Vrancken made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 56' It looks like no one’s ball. KAA Gent is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 61' Hasan Kurucay needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 63' The KAA Gent bench stirs into life. Noah Fadiga is withdrawn and Matisse Samoise gets his opportunity.
- 64' KAA Gent make a change. Zalan Vancsa trudges off to be replaced by Pieter Gerkens on 64 minutes.

- 69' Oud-Heverlee Leuven make a change. Stefan Mitrovic trudges off to be replaced by Mickael Biron on 69 minutes.
- 74' 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 Konan N'Dri suffering a number of foals already.
- 76' Tiago Araujo is ready to make an impact after coming on for Franck Surdez at the 76 minute mark.
- 78' A stunning finish from Andri Gudjohnsen — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 83' A change in the Oud-Heverlee Leuven ranks — Takuma Ominami exits the field as Hamza Mendyl enters on 83.
- 88' KAA Gent is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 90' Archie Brown makes way for Helio Varela at the 90 minute mark. A tactical switch from KAA Gent.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-0.
