Events
Match Events
- 0' KV Mechelen have kicked off against KAA Gent. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
- 5' Sandy Walsh, a Indonesia , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. KV Mechelen is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 15' KAA Gent 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.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering KAA Gent that had 310 games and scored 466 goals.
- 25' KAA Gent come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 30' KV Mechelen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 35' Enock Agyei has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 38' The referee shows KV Mechelen player a Yellow card on 38.
- 42' GOAL! Matisse Samoise fires home to make it 0-1!
- 45' A goal from the Belgium international Dries Wouters! He fires home on 45 to make it 1-1!
- 46' Alessio Da Cruz is replacing Dries Wouters for the KV Mechelen side.
- 51' KAA Gent has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
- 56' Belgium international Julien De Sart has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.

- 75' KAA Gent make a change. Alessio Castro-Montes trudges off to be replaced by Malick Fofana on 75 minutes.
- 80' KV Mechelen are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined KAA Gent backline.
- 81' The supporters are chanting for Ngal Ayel Mukau. He replaces Dimitri Lavalee on 81 minute.
- 86' 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.
- 89' Laurent Depoitre gets the nod from KAA Gent. He replaces Hyun-Seok Hong and will look to change the dynamic.
- 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Matisse Samoise.
- It finishes all square. KV Mechelen and KAA Gent share the spoils 1-1.
