Events
Match Events
- 0' The ball is rolling at GHELAMCO-arena. KAA Gent are looking to make home advantage count against Royal Standard de Liege.
- 2' The deadlock is broken! Noe Dussenne gets on the scoresheet on 2 minutes.
- 7' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 12' It’s high time Hein Vanhaezebrouck made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 17' It looks surprising KAA Gent does not make any changes. Sinan Bolat has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 22' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 27' GOAL! Nurio Fortuna scores on 27. Assisted by Michael Ngadeu
- 32' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Hein Vanhaezebrouck will be considering his options from the bench.
- 37' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Royal Standard de Liege that had 372 games and scored 363 goals.
- 42' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 47' Andreas Hanche-Olsen has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 50' Gojko Cimirot picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 55' Supporters expect more eagerness from Osman Bukari, as he is very good at scoring at GHELAMCO-arena with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 60' KAA Gent are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Royal Standard de Liege backline.
- 64' Time for substitution for Royal Standard de Liege. Abdoul Fessal Tapsoba is replaced by Obbi Oulare.
- 69' 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 Alessio Castro-Montes suffering a number of foals already.
- 70' A tactical swap from KAA Gent — Tim Kleindienst on, Alessio Castro-Montes off on 70 minutes.
- 75' 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.
- 77' Selim Amallah has so much to prove this time. He replaces Gojko Cimirot on 77 minute.
- 82' Both keepers have barely been tested. KAA Gent and Royal Standard de Liege are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 85' The Ukraine Roman Yaremchuk breaks the deadlock on 85 minutes. 2-1!
- 90' KAA Gent manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Bruno Godeau is hanging Milad Mohammadi on the field on 90 minute.
- 90' KAA Gent player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from KAA Gent to claim maximum points.
