Match Events

- 5' Tim Kleindienst is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for KAA Gent tonight.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Roman Yaremchuk, as he is very good at scoring at Guldensporenstadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 15' Pape Habib Gueye needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 1 Red cards this season.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Laurent Depoitre made 369 appearances and scored 35 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 21' Controversy at the stadium! Roman Yaremchuk argues furiously but the Red card stands.
- 22' That looks like a foul for a Red card for Roman Yaremchuk.
- 27' KV Kortrijk currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 31' Poor challenge from Julien De Sart. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 34' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Eric Ocansey.
- 39' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. KV Kortrijk needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 44' 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.
- 46' It is a substitution in KV Kortrijk team. Julien De Sart is replaced by Hannes Van der Bruggen on 46 minute.

- 50' Goal! Faiz Selemani scores his 37 goal in 232 matches.
- 55' The energy levels are beginning to show. Yves Vanderhaeghe might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 60' 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 Sinan Bolat suffering a number of foals already.
- 64' Fresh legs for KAA Gent! Laurent Depoitre comes on to replace Elisha Owusu.
- 69' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Yves Vanderhaeghe will be considering his options from the bench.

- 82' It’s a booking for KV Kortrijk player. Christophe Lepoint gets a Yellow card.
- 82' It is a substitution in KAA Gent team. Milad Mohammadi is replaced by Sulayman Marreh on 82 minute.
- 85' Michiel Jonckheere gets the nod from KV Kortrijk. He replaces Faiz Selemani and will look to change the dynamic.
- 88' The KV Kortrijk manager makes a substitution. Ilombe Mboyo departs to be replaced by Jovan Stojanovic.
- KAA Gent will have plenty to reflect on. KV Kortrijk were simply the better side today.
