  • 15' Leander Dendoncker has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 23 cards already picked up this season.
  • 20' 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 Tom Vandenberghe suffering a number of foals already.
  • 21' KAA Gent player sees a card in front of him.
  • 26' RSC Anderlecht fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.

  • 60' Another substitution for KAA Gent to replace Hyllarion Goore by Andri Gudjohnsen on 60 minute.
  • 62' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Matisse Samoise on 62 minutes.
  • 67' It’s high time Danijel Milicevic made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 69' It’s gonna be a card for Thorgan Hazard.
  • 74' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering KAA Gent that had 299 games and scored 447 goals.
  • 76' A goal from the Belgium international Leander Dendoncker! He fires home on 76 to make it 0-1!
  • 78' The RSC Anderlecht manager makes a substitution. Samuel Edozie departs to be replaced by Nilson Angulo.
