Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between KV Kortrijk and Royal Antwerp FC is underway.
  • 5' 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 Xander Dierckx suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' It looks surprising Royal Antwerp FC does not make any changes. Marko Ilic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' Royal Antwerp FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 30' The energy levels are beginning to show. Michiel Jonckheere might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 31' Anthony Valencia does the damage! The net is bulging and Royal Antwerp FC surge ahead!
  • 36' Both keepers have barely been tested. KV Kortrijk and Royal Antwerp FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 37' It’s gonna be a card for Anderson Matthew.
  • 42' With 0 assists to his name this season, Shandre Campbell is clearly more than just a goal scorer for KV Kortrijk.
  • 47' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His KV Kortrijk side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 52' Anderson Matthew has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 233 appearances.
  • 55' The KV Kortrijk manager makes a substitution. Thierry Ambrose departs to be replaced by Jellert Van Landschoot.
  • 60' The crowd applauds Modibo Fofana as he leaves the pitch. Narh Luis steps in for Royal Antwerp FC.
  • 65' A stunning finish from Anthony Valencia — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 70' Royal Antwerp FC make a change. Anthony Valencia trudges off to be replaced by Maxime Busi on 70 minutes.
  • 75' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Royal Antwerp FC that had 305 games and scored 439 goals.
  • 78' Harrison Murray-Campbell is ready to make an impact after coming on for James Ndjeungoue at the 78 minute mark.
  • 80' What a moment for Rein Van Helden! That strike on 80 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 85' Royal Antwerp FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 90' It is a cagey affair so far. KV Kortrijk in their trying to find a way past Royal Antwerp FC's compact .
  • Full Time. Royal Antwerp FC beats KV Kortrijk
