Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: KRC Genk gets underway.
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' Toluwalas Arokodare is a natural forward and has been asked to do a very specific job for KRC Genk tonight.
- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Christopher Bonsu Baah, as he is very good at scoring at Cegeka Arena with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
- 16' Poor challenge from Hugo Vetlesen. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 21' The energy levels are beginning to show. Thorsten Fink might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 26' Club Brugge KV come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 31' 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 Simon Mignolet suffering a number of foals already.
- 36' Club Brugge KV fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 38' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ken Nkuba on 38.
- 43' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Club Brugge KV needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 45' Andreas Skov Olsen adds to his 0 season tally! Club Brugge KV lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
- 50' The home supporters are growing impatient. KRC Genk must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 55' KRC Genk started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 55.
- 60' Against the run of play, Andreas Skov Olsen has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 64' It is a substitution in KRC Genk team. Nikolas Sattlberger is replaced by Konstantinos Karetsas on 64 minute.
- 65' The whistle greets Gustaf Nilsson as he departs to be replaced by Ferran Jutgla.
- 66' Michal Skoras is replacing Antonio Nusa for the Club Brugge KV side.
- 68' Goal! Jarne Steuckers scores his 12 goal in 273 matches.
- 73' KRC Genk 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.
- 74' The referee has no hesitation. Christos Tzolis is booked for Club Brugge KV — card on 74.
- 74' A change in the KRC Genk ranks — Josue Ndenge Kongolo exits the field as Bryan Heynen enters on 74.
- 76' The supporters are chanting for Zakaria El Ouahdi. He replaces Ken Nkuba on 76 minute.
- 81' Club Brugge KV looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Brandon Mechele scoring 1 goals.
- 82' Club Brugge KV ring the changes. Raphael Onyedika has done his job and it is now time for Ardon Jasari to step up.
- 83' The deadlock is broken! Toluwalas Arokodare gets on the scoresheet on 83 minutes.
- 88' It looks surprising Club Brugge KV does not make any changes. Joaquin Seys has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 90' A moment of madness from Joris Kayembe on 90 minutes earns him a card. KRC Genk will be frustrated.
- 90' KRC Genk ring the changes. Jarne Steuckers has done his job and it is now time for Mark McKenzie to step up.
- Game over. The scoreline of 3-2 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
