Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Royal Standard de Liège get us underway at Stade Maurice Dufrasne.
- 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Philippe Montanier will be considering his options from the bench.
- 10' The travelling Cercle Brugge KSV supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' Cercle Brugge KSV started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 20' Royal Standard de Liège 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' Thibo Somers is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Cercle Brugge KSV so far.
- 30' Charles Vanhoutte has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dino Hotic made 105 appearances and scored 17 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 40' 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 Naomichi Ueda suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Royal Standard de Liège and Cercle Brugge KSV are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 50' The 25-year-old Nicolas Raskin has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 2 assists is a remarkable return.
- 55' Samuel Bastien doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 59' Felipe Avenatti was booked on 59.
- 64' Royal Standard de Liège currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 69' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 73' Alexander Corryn has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kylian Hazard on 73 minute.
- 77' Poor challenge from Dino Hotic. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 78' Abdoul Fessal Tapsoba is replacing Maxime Lestienne for the Royal Standard de Liege side.
- 83' A change in the Cercle Brugge KSV ranks — Guy Mbenza exits the field as Thibo Somers enters on 83.
- 86' A change in the Royal Standard de Liege ranks — Selim Amallah exits the field as Duje Cop enters on 86.
- Royal Standard de Liège celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
