  • 0' We are underway at Bosuilstadion. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' It looks surprising LASK Linz does not make any changes. Gernot Trauner has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Royal Antwerp FC and LASK Linz are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 15' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 20' LASK Linz 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' The 31-year-old Jean Butez has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 27' A moment of madness from Birger Verstraete on 27 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Royal Antwerp FC will be frustrated.
  • 32' LASK Linz receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 32.
  • 37' 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 Andreas Gruber suffering a number of foals already.
  • 38' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Reinhold Ranftl.
  • 40' The supporters are chanting for Johannes Eggestein. He replaces Marko Raguz on 40 minute.
  • 45' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ivan Leko will be considering his options from the bench.

  • 65' Another change for Royal Antwerp FC made on 65 minute. Birger Verstraete leaves to be changed by Nana Opoku Ampomah.
  • 66' The whistle greets Andreas Gruber as he departs to be replaced by Thomas Goiginger.
  • 68' LASK Linz receives a Red card for a hard tackle on 68.
  • 73' Frank Boya has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 75' It’s a booking for Royal Antwerp FC player. Pieter Gerkens gets a Yellow card.
  • 75' Cristian Benavente is ready to make an impact after coming on for Simen Juklerod at the 75 minute mark.
  • 80' Koji Miyoshi is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Royal Antwerp FC so far.
  • 85' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 86' Nana Opoku Ampomah has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 86.
  • 87' It is a substitution in Royal Antwerp FC team. Lior Refaelov is replaced by Jordan Lukaku on 87 minute.
  • 90' Alexander Schlager is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
