Match Events
- 0' And we are off! KRC Genk vs Royal Antwerp FC — let the football do the talking.
- 5' KRC Genk seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

- 20' 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.
- 25' 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 Angelo Preciado suffering a number of foals already.

- 63' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Gerardo Arteaga.
- 65' The Royal Antwerp FC bench stirs into life. Gyrano Kerk is withdrawn and Jelle Bataille gets his opportunity.
