Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Royal Antwerp FC launch into their encounter with LASK Linz.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' The travelling LASK Linz supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 25' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 27' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Birger Verstraete.
  • 32' A moment of madness from James Holland on 32 minutes earns him a Yellow card. LASK Linz will be frustrated.
  • 37' Royal Antwerp FC is showing some good football. However, Royal Antwerp FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 38' Reinhold Ranftl has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 38.
  • 40' The whistle greets Marko Raguz as he departs to be replaced by Johannes Eggestein.
  • 45' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Royal Antwerp FC and LASK Linz are desperate not to drop points on matchday .

  • 54' The Germany Johannes Eggestein breaks the deadlock on 54 minutes. 0-1!
  • 59' It looks surprising Royal Antwerp FC does not make any changes. Pieter Gerkens has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 68' James Holland is having his name booked by the referee on 68.
  • 73' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
