Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Bosuilstadion!
- 5' 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.

- 27' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 31' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Bryan Heynen.
- 36' KRC Genk is showing some good football. However, KRC Genk are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 41' Dieumerci Mbokani is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Royal Antwerp FC tonight.
- 44' A moment of madness from Abdoulaye Seck on 44 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Royal Antwerp FC will be frustrated.

- 75' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
