Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Oud-Heverlee Leuven kicks off things out of here…
- 5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 9' The deadlock is broken! Max Dean gets on the scoresheet on 9 minutes.
- 13' Noah Fadiga has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 13 minutes.
- 18' Oud-Heverlee Leuven are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 23' Thibault Vlietinck is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for KAA Gent so far.
- 28' Tsuyoshi Watanabe has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 19 cards already picked up this season.
- 33' A quiet spell here at Ghelamco Arena. KAA Gent seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 38' The 22-year-old Zalan Vancsa has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 39' Franck Surdez has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 39.
- 44' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 45' Siebe Schrijvers picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 46' Another change for Oud-Heverlee Leuven made on 46 minute. Siebe Schrijvers leaves to be changed by William Balikwisha.
- 51' 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 Atsuki Ito suffering a number of foals already.
- 56' It is a cagey affair so far. KAA Gent in their trying to find a way past Oud-Heverlee Leuven's compact .
- 61' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.

- 64' Pieter Gerkens has so much to prove this time. He replaces Zalan Vancsa on 64 minute.

- 69' The crowd applauds Stefan Mitrovic as he leaves the pitch. Mickael Biron steps in for Oud-Heverlee Leuven.
- 74' It looks surprising Oud-Heverlee Leuven does not make any changes. Chukwubuikem Ikwuemesi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 76' KAA Gent manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Tiago Araujo is hanging Franck Surdez on the field on 76 minute.
- 78' What a moment for Andri Gudjohnsen! That strike on 78 puts his side firmly in control.
- 83' A tactical swap from Oud-Heverlee Leuven — Hamza Mendyl on, Takuma Ominami off on 83 minutes.
- 88' Both keepers have barely been tested. KAA Gent and Oud-Heverlee Leuven are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 90' The whistle greets Archie Brown as he departs to be replaced by Helio Varela.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-0.
