Events

  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Martin Hongla made 303 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' Daniel Munoz, a Colombia , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 22' Paul Onuachu has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 22 minutes.
  • 27' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 31' Bryan Heynen catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 31.
  • 36' It is a cagey affair so far. Royal Antwerp FC in their trying to find a way past KRC Genk's compact .

  • 44' Abdoulaye Seck catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 44.
  • 49' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering KRC Genk that had 316 games and scored 528 goals.
  • 54' KRC Genk 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.

  • 60' The 40-year-old Lior Refaelov has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.

  • 88' Felipe Avenatti is replacing Buta for the Royal Antwerp FC side.
  • 89' Royal Antwerp FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 90' Jhon Lucumi was booked on 90.
