- 0' And we are off! KV Mechelen vs KAA Gent — let the football do the talking.
- 2' KAA Gent is taking the lead after the goal scored by Roman Bezus on 2.
- 5' The Yellow-Red KV Mechelen bench stirs into life. Yannick Thoelen is withdrawn and Bram Castro gets his opportunity.
- 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. KV Mechelen and KAA Gent are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 15' KV Mechelen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 18' The referee has no hesitation. Giorgi Kvilitaia is booked for KAA Gent — Yellow card on 18.
- 22' Jules Van Cleemput is having his name booked by the referee on 22.
- 27' Giorgi Chakvetadze has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 32' Nikola Storm needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 8 Yellow cards this season.
- 37' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 42' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 45' Onur Kaya was booked on 45.
- 50' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Jonathan David makes it 0-2.
- 53' Sven Kums is having his name booked by the referee on 53.
- 58' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both KV Mechelen and KAA Gent are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 63' The home supporters are growing impatient. KV Mechelen must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 65' Another change for KAA Gent made on 65 minute. Roman Bezus leaves to be changed by Franck Gniangbo.
- 70' 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.
- 75' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 76' KAA Gent make a change. Giorgi Kvilitaia trudges off to be replaced by Giorgi Chakvetadze on 76 minutes.
- 80' Time for substitution for Yellow-Red KV Mechelen. Alexander Corryn is replaced by Clement Tainmont.
- 85' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Jess Thorup will be considering his options from the bench.
- 86' KAA Gent manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Sulayman Marreh is hanging Jonathan David on the field on 86 minute.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-3 draw is a fair result on the day.
