- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 20' Royal Antwerp FC 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.
- 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. KV Kortrijk needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 30' KV Kortrijk have won 312 goals from 241 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
