Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. KRC Genk kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' KKS Lech Poznan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' The travelling KRC Genk supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering KKS Lech Poznan that had 22 games and scored 38 goals.
  • 19' GOAL! Mbwana Samatta scores on 19. Assisted by Dieumerci Ndongala
  • 24' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 29' Maciej Orlowski is replacing Thomas Rogne for the KKS Lech Poznan side.
  • 34' Leandro Trossard needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 38' It’s a booking for KKS Lech Poznan player. Kamil Jozwiak gets a Yellow card.
  • 43' KRC Genk is showing some good football. However, KRC Genk are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 45' Goal! Leandro Trossard scores his 90 goal in 316 matches.
  • 50' What a strike from Tomasz Cywka! The score is 1-2.
  • 55' KKS Lech Poznan 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.
  • 60' The whistle greets Pozuelo as he departs to be replaced by Jakub Piotrowski.
  • 65' 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.
  • 67' Ruslan Malinovskyi is having his name booked by the referee on 67.
  • 72' It looks like no one’s ball. KKS Lech Poznan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 73' Another change for KKS Lech Poznan made on 73 minute. Christian Gytkjaer leaves to be changed by Pawel Tomczyk.
  • 74' The supporters are chanting for Ibrahima Seck. He replaces Ruslan Malinovskyi on 74 minute.
