Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Lotto Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Brian Riemer will be considering his options from the bench.
- 10' It looks surprising Royal Antwerp FC does not make any changes. Jurgen Ekkelenkamp has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His RSC Anderlecht side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 20' 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.
- 25' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 30' Royal Antwerp FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 35' Over 35 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 40' A quiet spell here at Lotto Park. Royal Antwerp FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 45' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 50' 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 Toby Alderweireld suffering a number of foals already.
- 55' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 60' Gyrano Kerk is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for RSC Anderlecht tonight.
- 65' The travelling Royal Antwerp FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 70' Royal Antwerp FC 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.
- 75' Royal Antwerp FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 80' Majeed Ashimeru, a Ghana , has 1 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 85' RSC Anderlecht is showing some good football. However, RSC Anderlecht are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 90' Both keepers have barely been tested. RSC Anderlecht and Royal Antwerp FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
