Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between RSC Anderlecht and KAA Gent is underway.
- 5' KAA Gent are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 10' Jonathan David is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for RSC Anderlecht so far.
- 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Karim Belhocine will be considering his options from the bench.
- 20' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both RSC Anderlecht and KAA Gent are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 30' RSC Anderlecht currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 35' It looks surprising KAA Gent does not make any changes. Yari Verschaeren has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 40' Sven Kums has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 40.
- 45' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

- 55' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His RSC Anderlecht side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 59' The crowd applauds Giorgi Chakvetadze as he leaves the pitch. Jean-Luc Dompe steps in for KAA Gent.
- 62' Alexander Sorloth makes way for Roman Bezus at the 62 minute mark. A tactical switch from KAA Gent.
- 67' 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 Sebastiaan Bornauw suffering a number of foals already.
- 72' The RSC Anderlecht manager makes a substitution. Francis Amuzu departs to be replaced by Ivan Santini.
- 74' The referee has no hesitation. Adrien Trebel is booked for RSC Anderlecht — Yellow card on 74.
