Events
Match Events

- 10' 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.
- 15' Zakaria El Ouahdi is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for KRC Genk so far.
- 18' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Atsuki Ito.
- 23' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. KRC Genk needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
