Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Guldensporenstadion. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.

- 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.

- 40' Controversy at the stadium! Zeno Van Den Bosch argues furiously but the card stands.
- 45' Royal Antwerp FC 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.

- 66' The KV Kortrijk bench stirs into life. Felipe Avenatti is withdrawn and Jonathan Afolabi gets his opportunity.
- 70' It is a substitution in KV Kortrijk team. Ryan Alebiosu is replaced by Nayel Mehssatou on 70 minute.
- 75' Jelle Bataille has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 78' Mahamadou Doumbia is replacing Michel-Ange Balikwisha for the Royal Antwerp FC side.
- 80' Kings Kangwa has so much to prove this time. He replaces Abdoulaye Sissako on 80 minute.
