Events
Match Events
- 0' KV Kortrijk have kicked off against KV Mechelen. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
- 5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Dion De Neve is clearly more than just a goal scorer for KV Kortrijk.
- 6' Against the run of play, Norman Bassette has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 10' Daam Foulon has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 10.
- 15' KV Kortrijk are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined KV Mechelen backline.
- 16' What a moment for Rob Schoofs! That strike on 16 puts his side firmly in control.
- 21' KV Mechelen are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 26' 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 Mark Mampassi suffering a number of foals already.
- 31' 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.
- 36' KV Kortrijk 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.
- 41' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 41 minutes.
- 46' KV Kortrijk ring the changes. Ryan Alebiosu has done his job and it is now time for Dylan Mbayo to step up.
- 51' KV Mechelen is showing some good football. However, KV Mechelen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 54' The referee calls foul for Mory Konate. He receives a card.
- 59' The 29-year-old Patrick Pflucke has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 64' The travelling KV Mechelen supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 67' A change in the KV Mechelen ranks — Jordi Vanlerberghe exits the field as Jannes Van Hecke enters on 67.
- 68' KV Mechelen manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yonas Malede is hanging Norman Bassette on the field on 68 minute.
