Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for KRC Genk and Royal Antwerp FC.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering KRC Genk that had 316 games and scored 528 goals.
  • 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. KRC Genk and Royal Antwerp FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 15' KRC Genk have won 528 goals from 316 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 20' Jonathan Bolingi has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 25' Magnificent from Ruslan Malinovskyi! That is 53 goals in 316 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.

  • 35' Royal Antwerp FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 40' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 45' Sander Berge has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 12 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 50' The 36-year-old William Acheampong has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 52' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Omar Govea.
  • 55' Mbwana Samatta makes no mistake. The score reads 2-0 and KRC Genk are in front.
  • 57' Junya Ito has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 57 minutes.
  • 59' Amara Baby has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 59.
  • 63' The Royal Antwerp FC manager makes a substitution. Amara Baby departs to be replaced by William Acheampong.
  • 64' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Ivo Rodrigues.
  • 65' A moment of madness from Faris Haroun on 65 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Royal Antwerp FC will be frustrated.
  • 66' Another substitution for KRC Genk to replace Ruslan Malinovskyi by Dries Wouters on 66 minute.
  • 67' It is a substitution in Royal Antwerp FC team. David Simao is replaced by Lior Refaelov on 67 minute.
  • 72' The travelling Royal Antwerp FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 77' The Royal Antwerp FC manager makes a substitution. Ivo Rodrigues departs to be replaced by Jonathan Bolingi.
  • 81' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Dino Arslanagic.
  • 83' Zinho Gano has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mbwana Samatta on 83 minute.
  • 88' Royal Antwerp FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
