Events
Match Events
- 0' Welcome to AFAS-stadion Achter de Kazerne that hosts another battle between KV Mechelen and KAA Gent.
- 2' What a strike from Roman Bezus! The score is 0-1.
- 5' The Yellow-Red KV Mechelen manager makes a substitution. Yannick Thoelen departs to be replaced by Bram Castro.
- 10' KV Mechelen are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against KAA Gent's shape.
- 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 18' Giorgi Kvilitaia catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 18.
- 22' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jules Van Cleemput.
- 27' 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.
- 32' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 37' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 42' The travelling KAA Gent supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 45' Poor challenge from Onur Kaya. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 50' Jonathan David makes no mistake. The score reads 0-2 and KAA Gent are in front.
- 53' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Sven Kums.
- 58' 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 Milad Mohammadi suffering a number of foals already.
- 63' Alexander Corryn has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 65' The KAA Gent manager makes a substitution. Roman Bezus departs to be replaced by Franck Gniangbo.
- 70' KV Mechelen are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined KAA Gent backline.
- 75' KV Mechelen is showing some good football. However, KV Mechelen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 76' The crowd applauds Giorgi Kvilitaia as he leaves the pitch. Giorgi Chakvetadze steps in for KAA Gent.
- 80' Alexander Corryn makes way for Clement Tainmont at the 80 minute mark. A tactical switch from Yellow-Red KV Mechelen.
- 85' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. KAA Gent needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 86' Jonathan David makes way for Sulayman Marreh at the 86 minute mark. A tactical switch from KAA Gent.
- The points are shared — KV Mechelen 0-3 KAA Gent. Honours even.
