Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. KV Mechelen kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Faiz Selemani has been relatively quiet despite scoring 37 goals in his last 247 appearances.
  • 10' Tom Vandenberghe has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 15' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both KV Mechelen and KV Kortrijk are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 17' The referee has no hesitation. Joao Silva is booked for KV Kortrijk — Yellow card on 17.
  • 22' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 27' 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 Birger Verstraete suffering a number of foals already.
  • 32' KV Kortrijk are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 33' Dion De Neve makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and KV Kortrijk are in front.
  • 37' Nikola Storm doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 42' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 45' Martin Wasinski was booked on 45.

  • 69' The referee shows KV Kortrijk player a Yellow card on 69.
