- 0' The game is set. Royal Antwerp FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' KV Kortrijk is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' The 26-year-old Abdelkahar Kadri has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.

- 20' Sheyi Ojo is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for KV Kortrijk so far.
- 25' 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 Kings Kangwa suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Lucas Pirard made 263 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
