Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. RSC Anderlecht get us underway at Lotto Park.
  • 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 10' It’s high time Besnik Hasi made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' The travelling KV Mechelen supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' Fredrik Hammar is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for KV Mechelen tonight.
  • 24' What a strike from Keisuke Goto! The score is 1-0.
  • 29' KV Mechelen fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 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.
  • 39' Nikola Storm needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 1 Red cards this season.
  • 40' Ahmed Touba picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 41' Assisted by Yari Verschaeren with the perfectly-timed delivery and Jan-Carlo Simic makes no mistake. 2-0!
  • 46' The KV Mechelen manager makes a substitution. Stephen Welsh departs to be replaced by Bill Antonio.
  • 49' What a moment for Benito Raman! That strike on 49 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 53' It’s a booking for KV Mechelen player. Bill Antonio gets a card.
  • 58' Stephen Welsh has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 63' 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 Cesar Huerta suffering a number of foals already.
  • 67' Yari Verschaeren doubles the advantage! 3-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 72' The crowd applauds Keisuke Goto as he leaves the pitch. Mario Stroeykens steps in for RSC Anderlecht.
  • 77' KV Mechelen are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 80' It is a substitution in RSC Anderlecht team. Moussa N'Diaye is replaced by Ali Maamar on 80 minute.
  • 81' RSC Anderlecht ring the changes. Cesar Huerta has done his job and it is now time for Francis Amuzu to step up.
