Events
Match Events

- 16' RSC Anderlecht is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 21' 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.

- 28' RSC Anderlecht player sees a card in front of him.
- 33' It’s high time Jérémy Taravel made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 38' It looks like no one’s ball. RSC Anderlecht is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 43' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jean-Kevin Duverne made 446 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 45' Mihajlo Cvetkovic is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
- 50' RSC Anderlecht is showing some good football. However, RSC Anderlecht are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 58' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nathan De Cat, as he is very good at scoring at Ghelamco Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

- 68' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 73' The travelling RSC Anderlecht supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 78' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

- 84' Momodou Lamin Sonko is having his name booked by the referee on 84.
- 89' 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.
