Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Guldensporenstadion. Ninety minutes of football awaits between KV Kortrijk and Royal Antwerp FC.
- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Narh Luis, as he is very good at scoring at Guldensporenstadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 10' Farouck Adekami, a Ivory Coast , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 15' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both KV Kortrijk and Royal Antwerp FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 20' KV Kortrijk are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Royal Antwerp FC's shape.
- 25' Royal Antwerp FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering KV Kortrijk that had 237 games and scored 306 goals.
- 31' What a moment for Anthony Valencia! That strike on 31 puts his side firmly in control.
- 36' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 37' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Anderson Matthew.
- 42' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 47' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Eran Tuypens made 309 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 52' Ken Masui has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 55' Jellert Van Landschoot gets the nod from KV Kortrijk. He replaces Thierry Ambrose and will look to change the dynamic.
- 60' Another substitution for Royal Antwerp FC to replace Modibo Fofana by Narh Luis on 60 minute.
- 65' Assisted by Eran Tuypens with the perfectly-timed delivery and Anthony Valencia makes no mistake. 0-2!
- 70' The whistle greets Anthony Valencia as he departs to be replaced by Maxime Busi.
- 75' 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 Luca Schelfhout suffering a number of foals already.
- 78' Harrison Murray-Campbell has so much to prove this time. He replaces James Ndjeungoue on 78 minute.
- 80' Assisted by Xander Dierckx with the perfectly-timed delivery and Rein Van Helden makes no mistake. 0-3!
- 85' Central African Republic international Goduine Koyalipou has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 90' Maxime Busi has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- The points are shared — KV Kortrijk 0-3 Royal Antwerp FC. Honours even.
