Events

Match Events

  • 24' A goal from the Japan international Keisuke Goto! He fires home on 24 to make it 1-0!
  • 29' 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 Nikola Storm suffering a number of foals already.
  • 34' Supporters expect more eagerness from Moussa N'Diaye, as he is very good at scoring at Lotto Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

  • 67' The Belgium Yari Verschaeren breaks the deadlock on 67 minutes. 3-1!
  • 72' Mario Stroeykens is replacing Keisuke Goto for the RSC Anderlecht side.
