- 5' Nicolas Raskin is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Royal Standard de Liège so far.
- 6' A meaty challenge results in booking for Merveille Bokadi on 6.
- 11' Edgaras Utkus is ready to make an impact after coming on for Charles Vanhoutte at the 11 minute mark.
- 16' Cercle Brugge KSV are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 21' Cercle Brugge KSV is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 26' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 31' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Royal Standard de Liège and Cercle Brugge KSV are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 36' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 38' Konstantinos Laifis was booked on 38.

- 60' 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 Vitinho suffering a number of foals already.

- 90' The referee has no hesitation. Moussa Sissako is booked for Royal Standard de Liege — Yellow card on 90.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
