  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. RSC Anderlecht and KV Mechelen are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 10' RSC Anderlecht currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 15' KV Mechelen come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 20' RSC Anderlecht 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.
  • 24' A goal from the Japan international Keisuke Goto! He fires home on 24 to make it 1-0!
  • 29' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. David Hubert will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 34' Kerim Mrabti has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
