Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Royal Antwerp FC to score. At the same time, Club Brugge KV does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Royal Antwerp FC that had 303 games and scored 434 goals.
  • 10' Brandon Mechele, a Belgium , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 15' 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 Didier Lamkel Ze suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Royal Antwerp FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 30' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 35' It looks surprising Royal Antwerp FC does not make any changes. Dino Arslanagic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 56' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 59' The Royal Antwerp FC bench stirs into life. Lior Refaelov is withdrawn and David Simao gets his opportunity.
  • 64' The 33-year-old Clinton Mata has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 65' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Sofyan Amrabat on 65 minutes.
  • 70' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 72' A tactical swap from Club Brugge KV — Krepin Diatta on, Arnaut Danjuma off on 72 minutes.
  • 77' It looks like no one’s ball. Club Brugge KV is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

  • 81' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Sambou Yatabare.

  • 89' Emmanuel Dennis is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Club Brugge KV so far.
