Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. KRC Genk get us underway at 't Kuipje.
- 5' KVC Westerlo are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined KRC Genk backline.
- 10' Andreas Jungdal has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 517 appearances.
- 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 18' What composure from Zakaria El Ouahdi! The Morocco international strokes it home. 0-1.
- 23' Toluwalas Arokodare has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
- 28' KRC Genk looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Bryan Heynen scoring 1 goals.
- 30' The Nigeria forward Toluwalas Arokodare breaks the deadlock on 30 minutes. 0-2!
- 35' Both keepers have barely been tested. KVC Westerlo and KRC Genk are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 40' A quiet spell here at 't Kuipje. KVC Westerlo seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 45' KVC Westerlo are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 46' KVC Westerlo make a change. Griffin Yow trudges off to be replaced by Isa Sakamoto on 46 minutes.
- 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
- 54' Poor challenge from Ibrahima Bangoura. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 59' KVC Westerlo currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 62' The crowd applauds Ibrahima Bangoura as he leaves the pitch. Nikolas Sattlberger steps in for KRC Genk.
- 67' KRC Genk is showing some good football. However, KRC Genk are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 69' Another substitution for KVC Westerlo to replace Josimar Alcocer by Allahyar Sayyadmanesh on 69 minute.
- 74' Luka Vuskovic, a Croatia defender, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 75' A meaty challenge results in booking for Zakaria El Ouahdi on 75.
- 80' 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 Bryan Heynen suffering a number of foals already.
- 82' A tactical swap from KRC Genk — Konstantinos Karetsas on, Patrik Hrosovsky off on 82 minutes.
- 86' Sergiy Sydorchuk has so much to prove this time. He replaces Dogucan Haspolat on 86 minute.
