- 7' Christopher Nkunku adds to his 5 season tally! RB Leipzig lead 2-0 — and this changes everything.
- 12' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 12 minutes.
- 17' Eduard Sobol is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Club Brugge KV so far.
- 22' GOAL! Hans Vanaken scores on 22. Assisted by Charles De Ketelaere
- 24' What an equalizer from Hans Vanaken!
- 29' The energy levels are beginning to show. Jesse Marsch might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 34' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 39' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Wesley made 363 appearances and scored 28 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 41' What composure from Mats Rits! The Belgium international strokes it home. 2-3.
- 46' Josko Gvardiol gets the nod from RB Leipzig. He replaces Nordi Mukiele and will look to change the dynamic.

- 77' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 79' The RB Leipzig manager makes a substitution. Yussuf Poulsen departs to be replaced by Brian Brobbey.
- 80' Club Brugge KV manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Federico Ricca is hanging Eduard Sobol on the field on 80 minute.
