Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. KAA Gent get us underway at .
- 5' Antonio Milic has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 10' The home supporters are growing impatient. RSC Anderlecht must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 15' KAA Gent seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 20' RSC Anderlecht have won 464 goals from 390 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 25' Belgium international Birger Verstraete has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.

- 45' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His RSC Anderlecht side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 50' RSC Anderlecht are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 55' 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 Roman Yaremchuk suffering a number of foals already.
- 59' A tactical swap from KAA Gent — Jean-Luc Dompe on, Giorgi Chakvetadze off on 59 minutes.
- 62' KAA Gent ring the changes. Alexander Sorloth has done his job and it is now time for Roman Bezus to step up.

- 74' Adrien Trebel was booked on 74.
- 79' RSC Anderlecht is showing some good football. However, RSC Anderlecht are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 84' It looks like no one’s ball. RSC Anderlecht is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 85' Another substitution for RSC Anderlecht to replace Adrien Trebel by Edo Kayembe on 85 minute.
- 90' It’s a booking for RSC Anderlecht player. Ivan Santini gets a Yellow card.
