Match Events
- 0' The game is set. RSC Anderlecht kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Edo Kayembe, a Congo DR , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 10' RSC Anderlecht 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.
- 15' Senegal international Kara Mbodji has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ivan Santini made 390 appearances and scored 28 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. RSC Anderlecht needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 27' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Pieter Gerkens.
- 32' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 36' Sven Kums picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
