Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and KV Mechelen launch into their encounter with Royal Standard de Liège.
  • 5' Royal Standard de Liège is showing some good football. However, Royal Standard de Liège are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Arnaud Bodart made 372 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 12' That looks like a foul for a card for Merveille Bokadi.
  • 17' 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 Daam Foulon suffering a number of foals already.
  • 22' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Royal Standard de Liège needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 27' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 28' A tactical swap from Royal Standard de Liege — Lucas Noubi on, Moussa Djenepo off on 28 minutes.
  • 33' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 35' Norman Bassette is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the forward.
  • 40' Both keepers have barely been tested. KV Mechelen and Royal Standard de Liège are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 45' Another change for Royal Standard de Liege made on 45 minute. Nathan Ngoy leaves to be changed by Ibe Hautekiet.
  • 46' It is a substitution in Royal Standard de Liege team. Hayao Kawabe is replaced by Renaud Emond on 46 minute.
  • 51' The referee calls foul for David Bates. He receives a card.
  • 56' KV Mechelen are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 59' The whistle greets Mory Konate as he departs to be replaced by Bill Antonio.
  • 64' The 28-year-old Elias Cobbaut has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 67' Kerim Mrabti doubles the advantage! 2-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 72' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 72 minutes.
  • 74' Lion Lauberbach gets the nod from KV Mechelen. He replaces Norman Bassette and will look to change the dynamic.

  • 82' Rob Schoofs was booked on 82.
  • 84' KV Mechelen ring the changes. Kerim Mrabti has done his job and it is now time for Yonas Malede to step up.
