Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between KV Mechelen and K. Sint-Truidense VV is underway.
  • 5' K. Sint-Truidense VV have won 326 goals from 263 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 10' K. Sint-Truidense VV is showing some good football. However, K. Sint-Truidense VV are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 15' It looks surprising K. Sint-Truidense VV does not make any changes. Shinji Okazaki has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 25' It’s high time Bernd Hollerbach made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 30' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 35' KV Mechelen are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined K. Sint-Truidense VV backline.
  • 40' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 45' KV Mechelen 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.
  • 46' The crowd applauds Alec Van Hoorenbeeck as he leaves the pitch. Enock Agyei steps in for Yellow-Red KV Mechelen.
  • 51' Both keepers have barely been tested. KV Mechelen and K. Sint-Truidense VV are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 56' Over 56 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 59' K. Sint-Truidense VV ring the changes. Rocco Reitz has done his job and it is now time for Taichi Hara to step up.
  • 61' The crowd applauds David Bates as he leaves the pitch. Jordi Vanlerberghe steps in for Yellow-Red KV Mechelen.
  • 66' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dimitri Lavalee made 372 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 71' 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 Geoffry Hairemans suffering a number of foals already.
  • 76' Taichi Hara is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for K. Sint-Truidense VV tonight.
  • 81' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His KV Mechelen side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 82' Goal! Geoffry Hairemans scores his 33 goal in 303 matches.
  • 82' Taichi Hara was booked on 82.
  • 85' The supporters are chanting for Aboubakary Koita. He replaces Eric Bocat on 85 minute.
  • 86' A change in the Yellow-Red KV Mechelen ranks — Nikola Storm exits the field as Lucas Bijker enters on 86.
  • 90' That is a Yellow card for Yellow-Red KV Mechelen. Dimitri Lavalee will be fuming at that decision.
  • K. Sint-Truidense VV will have plenty to reflect on. KV Mechelen were simply the better side today.
