Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. SSC Napoli kicks off things out of here…
- 5' KRC Genk is showing some good football. However, KRC Genk are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Jose Callejon needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 20' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. SSC Napoli is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' KRC Genk started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
- 33' The supporters are chanting for Kevin Malcuit. He replaces Mario Rui on 33 minute.
- 38' 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 Theo Bongonda suffering a number of foals already.
- 43' The travelling SSC Napoli supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 48' Llorente has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 11 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 50' Junya Ito is having his name booked by the referee on 50.
- 55' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 58' Another change for SSC Napoli made on 58 minute. Eljif Elmas leaves to be changed by Dries Mertens.
- 63' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 65' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Arkadiusz Milik.
- 70' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Arkadiusz Milik made 508 appearances and scored 74 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 72' The supporters are chanting for Llorente. He replaces Arkadiusz Milik on 72 minute.
- 77' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SSC Napoli that had 508 games and scored 640 goals.
- 78' The referee calls foul for Fabian Ruiz. He receives a Yellow card.
- 83' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 88' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SSC Napoli needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 89' The supporters are chanting for Joseph Paintsil. He replaces Theo Bongonda on 89 minute.
- 90' Bryan Heynen has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ianis Hagi on 90 minute.
- The final score is 0-0.
