Events

Match Events

0' It’s Showtime! The match between KV Mechelen and RSC Anderlecht is underway.
5' The travelling RSC Anderlecht supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
15' KV Mechelen are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined RSC Anderlecht backline.
20' 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.
23' What composure from Lion Lauberbach! The Germany international strokes it home. 1-0.
28' It looks like no one’s ball. KV Mechelen is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
33' The supporters are chanting for Bilal Bafdili. He replaces Lion Lauberbach on 33 minute.
36' RSC Anderlecht receives a card for a hard tackle on 36.
41' Over 41 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
42' Ludwig Augustinsson makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and RSC Anderlecht are in front.
46' That is a card for KV Mechelen. Toon Raemaekers will be fuming at that decision.
50' Magnificent from Francis Amuzu! That is 23 goals in 405 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
55' RSC Anderlecht started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 55.
60' Another substitution for RSC Anderlecht to replace Francis Amuzu by Nilson Angulo on 60 minute.
64' It is a substitution in RSC Anderlecht team. Ludwig Augustinsson is replaced by Thomas Foket on 64 minute.
69' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
74' RSC Anderlecht looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Tawfik Bentayeb scoring 1 goals.
76' The KV Mechelen manager makes a substitution. Jules Van Cleemput departs to be replaced by Geoffry Hairemans.
77' A change in the KV Mechelen ranks — Nikola Storm exits the field as Petter Dahl enters on 77.
78' The referee shows RSC Anderlecht player a card on 78.
83' KV Mechelen are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against RSC Anderlecht's shape.
85' A change in the RSC Anderlecht ranks — Yari Verschaeren exits the field as Mario Stroeykens enters on 85.
90' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Theo Leoni makes it 1-3.
The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for KV Mechelen.
