Events

Match Events

0' We are underway at Argosstadion Achter de Kazerne. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
5' KV Mechelen are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined KV Kortrijk backline.
10' A quiet spell here at Argosstadion Achter de Kazerne. KV Kortrijk seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
15' The home supporters are growing impatient. KV Mechelen must find a spark to ignite this game.
17' The referee calls foul for Joao Silva. He receives a Yellow card.
22' 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 Nikola Storm suffering a number of foals already.
27' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
32' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering KV Mechelen that had 223 games and scored 299 goals.
33' A stunning finish from Dion De Neve — that came from absolutely nowhere!
37' What a strike from Nikola Storm! The score is 0-2.
42' KV Mechelen currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
45' Martin Wasinski is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
46' The crowd applauds Joao Silva as he leaves the pitch. Abdelhak Kadri steps in for KV Kortrijk.
48' What a moment for Kerim Mrabti! That strike on 45 puts his side firmly in control.
53' 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.
58' The Abdelhak Kadri breaks the deadlock on 58 minutes. 0-4!
63' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
64' Billel Messaoudi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Dion De Neve on 64 minute.
69' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Stjepan Loncar.
69' Fresh legs for Yellow-Red KV Mechelen! Julien Ngoy comes on to replace Kerim Mrabti.
73' Julien Ngoy adds to his 0 season tally! Yellow-Red KV Mechelen lead 0-5 — and this changes everything.
74' The crowd applauds Massimo Bruno as he leaves the pitch. Kristof D'Haene steps in for KV Kortrijk.
77' Yonas Malede is replacing Nikola Storm for the Yellow-Red KV Mechelen side.
82' 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.
84' Another change for KV Kortrijk made on 84 minute. Stjepan Loncar leaves to be changed by Felipe Avenatti.
86' The Yellow-Red KV Mechelen manager makes a substitution. Alessio Da Cruz departs to be replaced by Ngal Ayel Mukau.
87' The referee has no hesitation. Habib Gueye is booked for KV Kortrijk — Yellow card on 87.
89' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jannes Van Hecke on 89.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for KV Mechelen players.
