Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at GHELAMCO-arena. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 2' What a strike from Noe Dussenne! The score is 0-1.
- 7' KAA Gent are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Royal Standard de Liège's shape.
- 12' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sinan Bolat made 310 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 17' Royal Standard de Liège are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 22' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 27' Nurio Fortuna adds to his 0 season tally! KAA Gent lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
- 32' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 37' KAA Gent have won 459 goals from 306 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 42' Obbi Oulare needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 47' KAA Gent 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.
- 50' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Gojko Cimirot.
- 55' 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 Michel-Ange Balikwisha suffering a number of foals already.
