Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between KRC Genk and KAA Gent is underway.
  • 5' Bryan Heynen needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 38 Yellow cards this season.
  • 6' A goal from the Tunisia international Dylan Bronn! He fires home on 6 to make it 0-1!
  • 11' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ihor Plastun, as he is very good at scoring at Luminus Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 16' France international Arnaud Souquet has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 21' It looks surprising KAA Gent does not make any changes. Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 23' A goal from the Tanzania international Mbwana Samatta! He fires home on 23 to make it 1-1!
  • 28' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both KRC Genk and KAA Gent are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 29' Arnaud Souquet has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 29.
  • 34' It’s high time Philippe Clement made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 39' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His KRC Genk side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 44' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 44 minutes.
  • 47' Sebastien Dewaest puts KRC Genk on the lead.
  • 52' Birger Verstraete has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 57' KAA Gent come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 59' Igor Plastun is replacing Dylan Bronn for the KAA Gent side.
  • 60' Nana Asare has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 60.
  • 65' It looks like no one’s ball. KRC Genk is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 67' KAA Gent ring the changes. Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe has done his job and it is now time for Birger Verstraete to step up.
  • 72' The 29-year-old Joakim Maehle has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 2 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 73' It is a substitution in KAA Gent team. Jonathan David is replaced by Taiwo Awoniyi on 73 minute.
  • 76' Sigurd Rosted catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Red card on 76.
  • 81' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 85' Bryan Heynen adds to his 1 season tally! KRC Genk lead 3-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 90' The crowd applauds Dieumerci Ndongala as he leaves the pitch. Zinho Gano steps in for KRC Genk.
  • KAA Gent will have plenty to reflect on. KRC Genk were simply the better side today.
