Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: KV Kortrijk gets underway.
- 5' Cercle Brugge KSV come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' Cercle Brugge KSV 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.
- 18' Against the run of play, Imoh Ezekiel has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 20' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jeremy Taravel on 20.
- 25' Gary Kagelmacher has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 30' The energy levels are beginning to show. Jose Jeunechamps might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 35' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.

- 61' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
