Events
Match Events

- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. KRC Genk is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' KV Kortrijk started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
- 15' KV Kortrijk are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against KRC Genk's shape.
- 20' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 25' KV Kortrijk is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
- 35' Over 35 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 40' A meaty challenge results in booking for Billel Messaoudi on 40.
- 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joao Silva made 231 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

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