Match Events
- 0' Temperatures are rising at King Power at Den Dreef Stadion as Oud-Heverlee Leuven face off against KAA Gent in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
- 5' 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 Casper De Norre suffering a number of foals already.
- 6' A goal from the Iran international Milad Mohammadi! He fires home on 6 to make it 0-1!
- 11' Osman Bukari has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 11 cards already picked up this season.
- 16' 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.
- 21' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. KAA Gent needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 26' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with KAA Gent winning 100% of all matches.
- 28' Poor challenge from Thomas Henry. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 33' Thomas Henry is having his name booked by the referee on 33.
- 38' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 43' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 45' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Sven Kums on 45 minutes.
- 46' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Osman Bukari on 46 minutes.
- 50' Sven Kums has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 50 minutes.
- 52' Oud-Heverlee Leuven make a change. David Hubert trudges off to be replaced by Siebe Schrijvers on 52 minutes.
- 54' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Osman Bukari makes it 0-3.

- 62' Fresh legs for Oud-Heverlee Leuven! Joshua Okpoda Eppiah comes on to replace Xavier Mercier.
- 67' KAA Gent have won 465 goals from 309 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 68' KAA Gent ring the changes. Osman Bukari has done his job and it is now time for Franck Gniangbo to step up.
- 72' A change in the Oud-Heverlee Leuven ranks — Thibault Vlietinck exits the field as Andy King enters on 72.
- 73' The Oud-Heverlee Leuven bench stirs into life. Kristiyan Malinov is withdrawn and Barnabas Bese gets his opportunity.
- 76' KAA Gent ring the changes. Roman Yaremchuk has done his job and it is now time for Laurent Depoitre to step up.
- 79' Thomas Henry picks up a Red card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 83' The KAA Gent manager makes a substitution. Niklas Dorsch departs to be replaced by Elisha Owusu.
- 88' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Oud-Heverlee Leuven that had 194 games and scored 240 goals.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for KAA Gent players.
