Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between RSC Anderlecht and KAA Gent is underway.
- 5' It’s high time Jérémy Taravel made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' RSC Anderlecht looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 4 matches with its main striker Yari Verschaeren scoring 1 goals.
- 20' 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 Ibrahima Cisse suffering a number of foals already.
- 22' GOAL! Wilfride Kanga scores on 22.
- 27' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Enric Llansana made 480 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 32' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 37' That looks like a foul for a card for Michal Skoras.
- 42' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. RSC Anderlecht needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 43' Yari Verschaeren is replacing Nathan De Cat for the RSC Anderlecht side.
- 48' 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.
- 53' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 58' The travelling KAA Gent supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 59' The supporters are chanting for Abdelkahar Kadri. He replaces Hyun-seok Hong on 59 minute.
- 64' 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.
- 67' Tristan Degreef has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mario Stroeykens on 67 minute.
- 68' The RSC Anderlecht manager makes a substitution. Enric Llansana departs to be replaced by Coba da Costa.
- 73' KAA Gent is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 78' It’s gonna be a card for Siebe Van der Heyden.
- 79' What a strike from Yari Verschaeren! The score is 1-1.
- 80' Hyllarion Goore is replacing Max Dean for the KAA Gent side.
- 85' It looks surprising KAA Gent does not make any changes. Ludwig Augustinsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 88' Jean-Kevin Duverne has so much to prove this time. He replaces Michal Skoras on 88 minute.
- 89' The whistle greets Mihajlo Cvetkovic as he departs to be replaced by Adriano Bertaccini.
