Events

Match Events

0' Oud-Heverlee Leuven have kicked off against Royal Antwerp FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
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 Gyrano Kerk suffering a number of foals already.
10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Oud-Heverlee Leuven and Royal Antwerp FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
15' Oud-Heverlee Leuven started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.

58' Oud-Heverlee Leuven are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Royal Antwerp FC backline.
60' Oud-Heverlee Leuven ring the changes. Nathaniel Opoku has done his job and it is now time for Jonatan Braut Brunes to step up.

69' Anthony Valencia is replacing Gyrano Kerk for the Royal Antwerp FC side.
