Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! KRC Genk vs Cercle Brugge KSV — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both KRC Genk and Cercle Brugge KSV are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 9' Magnificent from Paul Onuachu! That is 88 goals in 225 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 14' 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 Gerardo Arteaga suffering a number of foals already.
  • 19' The energy levels are beginning to show. Yves Vanderhaeghe might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 20' Jean Marcelin catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 20.
  • 24' Magnificent from Junya Ito! That is 53 goals in 424 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 27' The referee has no hesitation. Hannes Van der Bruggen is booked for Cercle Brugge KSV — Yellow card on 27.
  • 32' Thomas Didillon has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 405 appearances.
  • 37' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Bryan Heynen.
  • 39' That is a Red card for Cercle Brugge KSV. Hannes Van der Bruggen will be fuming at that decision.
  • 44' Leonardo Lopes is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Cercle Brugge KSV tonight.
  • 46' Another change for Cercle Brugge KSV made on 46 minute. Kevin Denkey leaves to be changed by Anthony Musaba.
  • 51' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. John van den Brom will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 56' The 30-year-old Theo Bongonda has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 61' 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.
  • 65' The crowd applauds Paul Onuachu as he leaves the pitch. Cyriel Dessers steps in for KRC Genk.
  • 69' Kevin Hoggas has so much to prove this time. He replaces Olivier Deman on 69 minute.
  • 74' Brazil international Vitinho has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 5 assists in the Array this season.
