Events
Match Events

- 4' Assisted by Jean-Luc Dompe with the perfectly-timed delivery and Jonathan David makes no mistake. 0-1!
- 9' KAA Gent is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 14' Idir Ouali is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for KV Kortrijk so far.
- 15' What composure from Idir Ouali! The France international strokes it home. 1-1.
- 20' Both keepers have barely been tested. KV Kortrijk and KAA Gent are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.

- 39' Brecht Dejaegere picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 44' With 0 assists to his name this season, Giorgi Chakvetadze is clearly more than just a goal scorer for KAA Gent.
- 49' KV Kortrijk started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 49.
- 54' 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 Roman Bezus suffering a number of foals already.
- 59' Alexander Sorloth gets the nod from KAA Gent. He replaces Roman Yaremchuk and will look to change the dynamic.

- 73' The KV Kortrijk manager makes a substitution. Idir Ouali departs to be replaced by Andrii Batsula.
- 74' A moment of madness from Larry Azouni on 74 minutes earns him a Yellow card. KV Kortrijk will be frustrated.
- 76' Magnificent from Thibault De Smet! That is 2 goals in 299 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 77' A change in the KV Kortrijk ranks — Felipe Avenatti exits the field as Jovan Stojanovic enters on 77.
- 82' Imoh Ezekiel is ready to make an impact after coming on for Hannes Van der Bruggen at the 82 minute mark.
