- 13' Mbwana Samatta does the damage! The net is bulging and KRC Genk surge ahead!
- 18' 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 Silas Gnaka suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Mbwana Samatta makes it 0-2.

- 68' The supporters are chanting for Samuel Essende. He replaces Yuta Toyokawa on 68 minute.
- 73' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joseph Aidoo made 316 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
