Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Sporting du Pays de Charleroi kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sporting du Pays de Charleroi that had 272 games and scored 370 goals.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' Sporting du Pays de Charleroi are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 20' KRC Genk currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 25' GOAL! Paul Onuachu scores on 25. Assisted by Junya Ito
  • 28' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Junya Ito.
  • 33' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both KRC Genk and Sporting du Pays de Charleroi are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 34' Controversy at the stadium! Steeven Willems argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 39' Kaveh Rezaei has been relatively quiet despite scoring 29 goals in his last 365 appearances.
  • 44' 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 Daniel Munoz suffering a number of foals already.
  • 48' The deadlock is broken! Saido Berahino gets on the scoresheet on 48 minutes.
  • 53' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Guillaume Gillet made 459 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 58' Shamar Nicholson, a Jamaica , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 60' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jules Van Cleemput on 60.
  • 63' Magnificent from Joakim Maehle! That is 25 goals in 326 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 68' Shamar Nicholson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Saido Berahino on 68 minute.
  • 73' KRC Genk have won 545 goals from 326 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 78' The crowd applauds Jere Uronen as he leaves the pitch. Gerardo Arteaga steps in for KRC Genk.
  • 79' KRC Genk manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kouassi Eboue is hanging Theo Bongonda on the field on 79 minute.
  • 82' That is a Yellow card for KRC Genk. Paul Onuachu will be fuming at that decision.
  • 83' Time for substitution for KRC Genk. Kristian Thorstvedt is replaced by Dries Wouters.
