Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Luminus Arena!
- 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. KRC Genk and KAA Gent are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 15' Andreas Hanche-Olsen, a Norway , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 18' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Michael Ngadeu.
- 23' It looks like no one’s ball. KRC Genk is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 28' 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 Andras Nemeth suffering a number of foals already.
- 33' Paul Onuachu is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for KRC Genk so far.
- 38' Time for substitution for KAA Gent. Jordan Torunarigha is replaced by Bruno Godeau.
- 43' KRC Genk started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 43.
- 44' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Daniel Munoz.
- 46' It is a substitution in KRC Genk team. Angelo Preciado is replaced by Mbwana Samatta on 46 minute.
- 51' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 56' Alessio Castro-Montes has been relatively quiet despite scoring 23 goals in his last 199 appearances.
- 61' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 66' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 68' The crowd applauds Bilal El Khannous as he leaves the pitch. Nicolas Castro steps in for KRC Genk.
- 71' Another change for KAA Gent made on 71 minute. Hyun-Seok Hong leaves to be changed by Andrew Hjulsager.
- 74' The referee calls foul for Bruno Godeau. He receives a Yellow card.
- 79' KRC Genk are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against KAA Gent's shape.
- 80' Fresh legs for KRC Genk! Andras Nemeth comes on to replace Paul Onuachu.
- 85' It looks surprising KAA Gent does not make any changes. Davy Roef has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 86' That is a Yellow card for KRC Genk. Mark McKenzie will be fuming at that decision.
- Full Time. KRC Genk beats KAA Gent
