Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: KRC Genk gets underway.
  • 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 10' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 15' KRC Genk currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 19' Yari Verschaeren puts RSC Anderlecht on the lead.
  • 21' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Zakaria El Ouahdi makes it 1-1.
  • 26' RSC Anderlecht are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 31' Theo Leoni is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for RSC Anderlecht tonight.
  • 34' Leander Dendoncker picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 39' KRC Genk are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined RSC Anderlecht backline.
  • 44' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 49' 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.
  • 51' Zakaria El Ouahdi puts KRC Genk on the lead.
  • 56' 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 Konstantinos Karetsas suffering a number of foals already.
  • 59' A tactical swap from RSC Anderlecht — Thorgan Hazard on, Tristan Degreef off on 59 minutes.
  • 64' Both keepers have barely been tested. KRC Genk and RSC Anderlecht are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 68' The supporters are chanting for Noah Adedeji. He replaces Jarne Steuckers on 68 minute.
  • 69' RSC Anderlecht manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Theo Leoni is hanging Lucas Hey on the field on 69 minute.
  • 74' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 75' The KRC Genk bench stirs into life. Toluwalas Arokodare is withdrawn and Hyun-Gyu Oh gets his opportunity.
  • 76' Yira Sor is ready to make an impact after coming on for Christopher Bonsu Baah at the 76 minute mark.
  • 77' Time for substitution for KRC Genk. Zakaria El Ouahdi is replaced by Ken Nkuba.
  • 82' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nilson Angulo made 390 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 83' The whistle greets Mario Stroeykens as he departs to be replaced by Majeed Ashimeru.
  • 84' Fresh legs for KRC Genk! Josue Ndenge Kongolo comes on to replace Konstantinos Karetsas.
  • 89' Toluwalas Arokodare has been relatively quiet despite scoring 50 goals in his last 3 appearances.
  • 90' Poor challenge from Theo Leoni. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • Another three points for KRC Genk.
