Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Royal Standard de Liège kicks off things out of here…
- 5' KRC Genk is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' The -year-old Aron Doennum has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Royal Standard de Liège needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 20' Over 20 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 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 Mehdi Carcela suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Royal Standard de Liège 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.
- 35' Royal Standard de Liège come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 40' Belgium international Renaud Emond has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 41' It’s a booking for KRC Genk player. Patrik Hrosovsky gets a Yellow card.
- 42' Mathieu Cafaro catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 42.
- 44' Theo Bongonda does the damage! The net is bulging and KRC Genk surge ahead!
- 45' Controversy at the stadium! Selim Amallah argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 50' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 53' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Paul Onuachu makes it 2-0.
- 58' It looks surprising Royal Standard de Liège does not make any changes. Arnaud Bodart has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 63' Konstantinos Laifis has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 68' Poor challenge from Mark McKenzie. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 70' The whistle greets Mathieu Cafaro as he departs to be replaced by Abdoul Fessal Tapsoba.
- 75' Luca Oyen gets the nod from KRC Genk. He replaces Mike Ndayishimye and will look to change the dynamic.
- 80' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Kristian Thorstvedt.
- 81' That is a Yellow card for Royal Standard de Liege. Renaud Emond will be fuming at that decision.
- 83' Denis Dragus is replacing Selim Amallah for the Royal Standard de Liege side.
- 86' Nicolas Raskin makes way for Damjan Pavlovic at the 86 minute mark. A tactical switch from Royal Standard de Liege.
- 88' Aziz Mohammed is replacing Theo Bongonda for the KRC Genk side.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
