  • 5' Guinea international Mohamed Bayo has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' 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 Moussa N'Diaye suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 28' Royal Antwerp FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 28.
  • 33' Zeno Van Den Bosch has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.

  • 43' Jan-Carlo Simic was booked on 43.

  • 53' RSC Anderlecht are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Royal Antwerp FC backline.
  • 58' Christopher Scott is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Royal Antwerp FC tonight.

  • 65' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 65 minutes.
  • 70' The energy levels are beginning to show. Besnik Hasi might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 71' Time for substitution for RSC Anderlecht. Samuel Edozie is replaced by Cesar Huerta.
  • 76' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 79' Another substitution for Royal Antwerp FC to replace Dennis Praet by Andreas Verstraeten on 79 minute.
  • 81' The RSC Anderlecht bench stirs into life. Yari Verschaeren is withdrawn and Majeed Ashimeru gets his opportunity.
  • 82' The crowd applauds Ludwig Augustinsson as he leaves the pitch. Moussa N'Diaye steps in for RSC Anderlecht.
  • 87' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both RSC Anderlecht and Royal Antwerp FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 88' The supporters are chanting for Christopher Scott. He replaces Mahamadou Doumbia on 88 minute.

  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
