Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for KAA Gent to score. At the same time, RSC Anderlecht does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' KAA Gent is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' The travelling RSC Anderlecht supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 11' What a strike from Leonardo Lopes! The score is 1-0.
- 16' Marco Kana needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 21' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Colin Coosemans made 296 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 26' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 26 minutes.
- 28' That looks like a foul for a card for Marco Kana.
- 33' It’s high time Rik De Mil made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 38' It looks surprising RSC Anderlecht does not make any changes. Ludwig Augustinsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 43' 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 Mihajlo Cvetkovic suffering a number of foals already.
- 44' Goal! Jean-Kevin Duverne scores his 8 goal in 444 matches.
- 45' That looks like a foul for a card for Mihajlo Cvetkovic.
- 50' Nathan De Cat has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 37 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 53' Michal Skoras is having his name booked by the referee on 53.
- 58' 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.
- 63' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering KAA Gent that had 296 games and scored 446 goals.
- 68' Supporters expect more eagerness from Aime Omgba, as he is very good at scoring at Ghelamco Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 73' KAA Gent is showing some good football. However, KAA Gent are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 78' RSC Anderlecht looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 4 matches with its main striker Yari Verschaeren scoring 1 goals.
- 83' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. KAA Gent needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 84' KAA Gent player sees a card in front of him.
- 89' It looks like no one’s ball. RSC Anderlecht is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 90' RSC Anderlecht player sees a card in front of him.
- The final score is 1-1.
