Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at AFAS-stadion Achter de Kazerne. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 11' GOAL! Kerim Mrabti fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 16' 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.
  • 21' A quiet spell here at AFAS-stadion Achter de Kazerne. KVC Westerlo seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 26' Jordan Bos is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for KV Mechelen tonight.
  • 31' KVC Westerlo is showing some good football. However, KVC Westerlo are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 36' KVC Westerlo are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 37' What composure from Kerim Mrabti! The Sweden international strokes it home. 2-0.
  • 42' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Patrick Pflucke made 1 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 46' Romeo Vermant is replacing Matija Frigan for the KVC Westerlo side.
  • 51' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 56' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering KV Mechelen that had 234 games and scored 308 goals.

  • 66' Nicolas Madsen, a Denmark , has 11 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.

  • 83' It looks like no one’s ball. KV Mechelen is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 86' The KVC Westerlo manager makes a substitution. Emin Bayram departs to be replaced by Ravil Tagir.
  • 87' Another substitution for KV Mechelen to replace Patrick Pflucke by Bilal Bafdili on 87 minute.
