Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and RSC Anderlecht launch into their encounter with Royal Antwerp FC.
- 5' A quiet spell here at Lotto Park. RSC Anderlecht seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 10' RSC Anderlecht are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 15' Jurgen Ekkelenkamp needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 20' Arthur Vermeeren has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 30' Maxime Dupe is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Royal Antwerp FC so far.
- 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Royal Antwerp FC that had 314 games and scored 452 goals.
- 37' That looks like a foul for a card for Michel-Ange Balikwisha.
- 42' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 47' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both RSC Anderlecht and Royal Antwerp FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 50' Kasper Dolberg doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 55' 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 Jelle Bataille suffering a number of foals already.
- 60' RSC Anderlecht manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Justin Lonwijk is hanging Mario Stroeykens on the field on 60 minute.
- 65' It looks like no one’s ball. Royal Antwerp FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 68' The RSC Anderlecht bench stirs into life. Francis Amuzu is withdrawn and Benito Raman gets his opportunity.
- 72' The supporters are chanting for Sam Vines. He replaces Ritchie De Laet on 72 minute.
- 77' The home supporters are growing impatient. RSC Anderlecht must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 82' The whistle greets Kasper Dolberg as he departs to be replaced by Luis Vazquez.
- 83' The supporters are chanting for Louis Patris. He replaces Killian Sardella on 83 minute.
- 88' Toby Alderweireld has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 90' Louis Patris picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from RSC Anderlecht to claim maximum points.
