- 20' The 24-year-old Zakaria El Ouahdi has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 25' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 30' KRC Genk have won 528 goals from 316 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 35' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both KRC Genk and KAA Gent are desperate not to drop points on matchday .

- 60' Fresh legs for KAA Gent! Hyllarion Goore comes on to replace Andri Gudjohnsen.
- 65' 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 Bryan Heynen suffering a number of foals already.

- 87' Ken Nkuba gets the nod from KRC Genk. He replaces Zakaria El Ouahdi and will look to change the dynamic.
- 88' Hyun-Gyu Oh doubles the advantage! 3-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 89' A change in the KRC Genk ranks — Christopher Bonsu Baah exits the field as Yira Sor enters on 89.
