  • 20' Royal Antwerp FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Christopher Bonsu Baah made 321 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 69' Another substitution for Royal Antwerp FC to replace Mohamed Bayo by Jairo Riedewald on 69 minute.

  • 79' KRC Genk have won 540 goals from 321 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 83' Royal Antwerp FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Andreas Verstraeten is hanging Dennis Praet on the field on 83 minute.
  • 84' KRC Genk manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ken Nkuba is hanging Zakaria El Ouahdi on the field on 84 minute.
