Events

Match Events

  • 3' Zinho Gano puts KRC Genk on the lead.
  • 5' What a strike from Joseph Paintsil! The score is 2-0.
  • 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' Sarpsborg 08 FF are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' Pozuelo has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 28' The referee calls foul for Jere Uronen. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 33' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 38' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. KRC Genk needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 43' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 48' Sarpsborg 08 FF are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 53' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 56' The whistle greets Joachim Thomassen as he departs to be replaced by Amin Askar.
  • 61' Matti Lund Nielsen needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 62' The Sarpsborg 08 FF bench stirs into life. Rashad Muhammed is withdrawn and Jorgen Larsen gets his opportunity.
  • 64' What a strike from Sander Berge! The score is 3-0.
  • 65' Another substitution for KRC Genk to replace Pozuelo by Ruslan Malinovskyi on 65 minute.
  • 67' The Ghana Joseph Aidoo breaks the deadlock on 67 minutes. 4-0!
  • 72' 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 Jon-Helge Tveita suffering a number of foals already.
  • 75' Bojan Nastic gets the nod from KRC Genk. He replaces Jere Uronen and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 80' Dieumerci Ndongala gets the nod from KRC Genk. He replaces Leandro Trossard and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 82' The whistle greets Ole Jorgen Halvorsen as he departs to be replaced by Kristoffer Larsen.
  • 87' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ole Jorgen Halvorsen made 14 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • The points are shared — KRC Genk 4-0 Sarpsborg 08 FF. Honours even.
