Events

Match Events

  • 0' The ball is rolling at Cegeka Arena. KRC Genk are looking to make home advantage count against Royal Antwerp FC.
  • 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Royal Antwerp FC winning 0% of all matches.
  • 10' Alieu Fadera makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and KRC Genk are in front.
  • 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 20' Royal Antwerp FC looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Michael Frey scoring 2 goals.
  • 23' Ritchie De Laet picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 28' With 1 assists to his name this season, Alhassan Yusuf is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Royal Antwerp FC.
  • 33' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 38' Toby Alderweireld is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for KRC Genk tonight.
  • 43' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Wouter Vrancken will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 46' Zeno Van Den Bosch gets the nod from Royal Antwerp FC. He replaces Ritchie De Laet and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 47' A meaty challenge results in booking for Mandela Keita on 47.
  • 52' Royal Antwerp FC 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.
  • 57' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 62' 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 Patrik Hrosovsky suffering a number of foals already.
  • 65' Time for substitution for Royal Antwerp FC. Jurgen Ekkelenkamp is replaced by George Ilenikhena.
  • 66' Soumaila Coulibaly picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

  • 74' Alhassan Yusuf is ready to make an impact after coming on for Mandela Keita at the 74 minute mark.
  • 75' Magnificent from Toluwalas Arokodare! That is 51 goals in 3 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 77' What a strike from Toluwalas Arokodare! The score is 3-0.
  • 82' Chidera Ejuke has been relatively quiet despite scoring 26 goals in his last 373 appearances.
  • 83' Gerardo Arteaga is having his name booked by the referee on 83.
  • 88' Anouar Ait El Hadj has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yira Sor on 88 minute.
  • 90' The whistle greets Bryan Heynen as he departs to be replaced by Andi Zeqiri.
