Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — KV Mechelen and KRC Genk get this one started.
  • 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Wouter Vrancken will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both KV Mechelen and KRC Genk are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 12' Zakaria El Ouahdi is having his name booked by the referee on 12.
  • 17' Joseph Paintsil is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for KRC Genk tonight.
  • 22' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 27' 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.
  • 32' What a moment for Toluwalas Arokodare! That strike on 32 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 37' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Maarten Vandevoordt made 316 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 38' Rob Schoofs does the damage! The net is bulging and KV Mechelen surge ahead!
  • 43' KV Mechelen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 43.
  • 48' Patrick Pflucke has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 2 cards already picked up this season.
  • 53' KV Mechelen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 58' The supporters are chanting for Mory Konate. He replaces Munashe Garananga on 58 minute.
  • 59' The KV Mechelen manager makes a substitution. Lion Lauberbach departs to be replaced by Islam Slimani.
  • 64' It’s high time Wouter Vrancken made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 67' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ngal'ayel Mukau on 67.
  • 72' The referee has no hesitation. Joseph Paintsil is booked for KRC Genk — card on 72.
  • 77' KV Mechelen ring the changes. Geoffry Hairemans has done his job and it is now time for Patrick Pflucke to step up.
  • 82' 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 Eduard Sobol suffering a number of foals already.
  • 84' Another substitution for KV Mechelen to replace Bill Antonio by Bilal Bafdili on 84 minute.
  • 88' Another change for KRC Genk made on 88 minute. Bryan Heynen leaves to be changed by Andi Zeqiri.
  • 90' Christopher Bonsu Baah is replacing Bilal El Khannouss for the KRC Genk side.
  • celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
