Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. SV Zulte-Waregem kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Magnificent from Hugo Cuypers! That is 76 goals in 233 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 7' A goal from the Indonesia international Sandy Walsh! He fires home on 7 to make it 0-2!
- 8' Sandy Walsh does the damage! The net is bulging and Yellow-Red KV Mechelen surge ahead!
- 10' GOAL! Zinho Gano fires home to make it 0-4!
- 15' 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.
- 16' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Abdoulaye Sissako makes no mistake. 0-5!
- 21' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 26' A quiet spell here at Argosstadion Achter de Kazerne. KV Mechelen seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 31' Dereck Kutesa has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 36' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His KV Mechelen side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 40' The referee has no hesitation. Ibrahima Seck is booked for SV Zulte-Waregem — Yellow card on 40.
- 41' Cameron Humphreys is having his name booked by the referee on 41.
- 46' KV Mechelen are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 51' The travelling SV Zulte-Waregem supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 56' KV Mechelen currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 61' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 66' 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.
- 70' Marian Shved gets the nod from Yellow-Red KV Mechelen. He replaces Nikola Storm and will look to change the dynamic.
- 75' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SV Zulte-Waregem needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 80' Vinicius de Souza Costa needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 2 Red cards this season.
- 84' The Yellow-Red KV Mechelen bench stirs into life. Hugo Cuypers is withdrawn and Igor de Camargo gets his opportunity.
- 86' A tactical swap from Yellow-Red KV Mechelen — Onur Kaya on, Samuel Oum Gouet off on 86 minutes.
- 90' Time for substitution for SV Zulte-Waregem. Dereck Kutesa is replaced by Alieu Fadera.
- 2-2 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
