Events
Match Events
- 0' KRC Genk have kicked off against KV Kortrijk. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
- 5' KRC Genk have won 540 goals from 321 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

- 12' Ruslan Malinovskyi is having his name booked by the referee on 12.
- 17' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering KRC Genk that had 321 games and scored 540 goals.
- 20' A goal from the Tanzania international Mbwana Samatta! He fires home on 20 to make it 1-0!

- 29' Poor challenge from Hannes Van der Bruggen. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 34' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 39' 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.
- 44' 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.
- 45' Goal! Julien De Sart scores his 20 goal in 236 matches.

- 69' Andrii Batsula is having his name booked by the referee on 69.
- 74' Another change for KV Kortrijk made on 74 minute. Imoh Ezekiel leaves to be changed by Teddy Chevalier.
- 77' A tactical swap from KRC Genk — Bojan Nastic on, Jere Uronen off on 77 minutes.

- 89' The supporters are chanting for Brendan Hines-Ike. He replaces Andrii Batsula on 89 minute.
