Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against KV Mechelen and SV Zulte-Waregem has kicked off!
- 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. KV Mechelen and SV Zulte-Waregem are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 10' SV Zulte-Waregem is showing some good football. However, SV Zulte-Waregem are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 15' The 40-year-old Onur Kaya has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 20' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 25' 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 Alexander Corryn suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' The travelling SV Zulte-Waregem supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 35' KV Mechelen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 40' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 43' Ibrahima Seck is having his name booked by the referee on 43.
- 44' GOAL! Gianni Bruno fires home to make it 0-1!
- 46' Gustav Engvall gets the nod from Yellow-Red KV Mechelen. He replaces Dante Vanzeir and will look to change the dynamic.
- 51' The energy levels are beginning to show. Francky Dury might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 56' 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.
- 61' KV Mechelen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 61.
- 62' Jules Van Cleemput has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 62.
- 64' Clement Tainmont has so much to prove this time. He replaces Rob Schoofs on 64 minute.
- 69' Over 69 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 73' SV Zulte-Waregem receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 73.
- 73' Fresh legs for Yellow-Red KV Mechelen! Geoffry Hairemans comes on to replace Nikola Storm.
- 78' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SV Zulte-Waregem that had 194 games and scored 278 goals.
- 81' Fresh legs for SV Zulte-Waregem! Abdoulaye Sissako comes on to replace Gianni Bruno.
- 83' Ewoud Pletinckx has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 83.
- 84' Poor challenge from Onur Kaya. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 89' 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.
- 90' Marco Burki is ready to make an impact after coming on for Omar Govea at the 90 minute mark.
- SV Zulte-Waregem celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
