0' What a night it is going to be! RSC Anderlecht welcome Royale Union Saint-Gilloise for this crunch clash at Lotto Park.
5' Cameron Puertas, a Switzerland midfielder, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
10' The referee shows RSC Anderlecht player a Red card on 10.
11' RSC Anderlecht manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Killian Sardella is hanging Lior Refaelov on the field on 11 minute.
12' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Bart Nieuwkoop.
12' Killian Sardella is ready to make an impact after coming on for Lior Refaelov at the 12 minute mark.
17' It looks like no one’s ball. Royale Union Saint-Gilloise is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
20' Majeed Ashimeru picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
25' Royale Union Saint-Gilloise looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Besfort Zeneli scoring 1 goals.
30' It looks surprising Royale Union Saint-Gilloise does not make any changes. Bart Verbruggen has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
35' Senne Lynen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
38' Amadou Diawara has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 38.
42' Poor challenge from Christian Burgess. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
45' Jan Vertonghen catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 45.
50' Both keepers have barely been tested. RSC Anderlecht and Royale Union Saint-Gilloise are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
55' RSC Anderlecht currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
60' 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 Bart Nieuwkoop suffering a number of foals already.
61' The Royale Union Saint-Gilloise bench stirs into life. Bart Nieuwkoop is withdrawn and Cameron Puertas gets his opportunity.
62' The supporters are chanting for Cameron Puertas. He replaces Bart Nieuwkoop on 62 minute.
64' Goal! Fabio Silva scores his 39 goal in 505 matches.
69' It’s high time Karel Geraerts made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
70' Fresh legs for RSC Anderlecht! Benito Raman comes on to replace Fabio Silva.
75' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
78' The whistle greets Dante Vanzeir as he departs to be replaced by Gustaf Nilsson.
80' Killian Sardella was booked on 80.
81' What an equalizer from Cameron Puertas!
82' That is a Yellow card for RSC Anderlecht. Francis Amuzu will be fuming at that decision.
82' Time for substitution for RSC Anderlecht. Amadou Diawara is replaced by Adrien Trebel.
85' The referee shows RSC Anderlecht player a Yellow card on 85.
87' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Senne Lynen makes no mistake. 1-2!
